The Innocents Abroad
Part 4 of 6

CHAPTER XXXIII
10/24

All the remainder of the raiment they indulged in was utterly indescribable.
The shops here are mere coops, mere boxes, bath-rooms, closets--any thing you please to call them--on the first floor.

The Turks sit cross-legged in them, and work and trade and smoke long pipes, and smell like--like Turks.

That covers the ground.
