Visit to the mosques with La Tour and Sir Malézieux: coat, collar, hat, yellow gloves, looks like a pitiful blockhead, not amused at all by the Arab architecture; however, passing near the Bazaar of the Negroes towards Bab el-Futuh, was titillated: “Tell your guide to tell her to get naked”, about a poor negro woman which was in front of us.

Al-Azhar mosque. Mullahs seated on the floor in the sun, in the courtyard, writing, orating; rows of columns at the foot of which wreaths of white turbans were seen - the Sheik displacing the crowd with a stick, when it was becoming too compact around us; - Brutality of our cawas [policeman] to put away the people; on the steps of the mosques, he used his long silver-headed stick with both hands and beat right and left.
