The sun was hot. A small crowd of staring children had gathered round the car. They were very small and rather charming, with their thick black hair and enormous dark eyes and thumb sucking curiosity. The place seemed dead, with an afternoon deadness. No one was working, if there was a cafe it was only some dark room in one of the cottages; and I saw no women. Apart from the children, the skinny hens scratching, and a miserable-looking donkey with rope sores, the only creature moving was an old man who sat in the sun smoking a pipe. He could, indeed, hardly be said to be moving. He seemed to be smoking almost in his sleep, and his eyes turned up slowly and half blind as Hamid greeted him and asked him who would sell us the fruit that hung still on the lovely trees.
The old man waited a full half minute while the question wound its way through his brain, then he removed the pipe from his mouth, turned his head round slightly, spat into the dust, and said something we could not understand. Then he went on staring at nothing and the pipe went back into his mouth.
Hamid smiled at me over his shoulder, said:“I won't be a moment,” and disappeared into a dark doorway.
I wandered across the street, the children following. At the edge of the road was a six-foot wall holding up, it seemed, the piece of flat land on which the village was built. Below this were the terraced fields where I had been the rider on the brown horse. The sunflowers were too tall and too thickly planted to allow many other flowers to grow, but there were a few blue flowers at the foot of the wall, and a red one like a small rose.
