He is a learned and intelligent man, though a poor host. He is likely to offer me, in place of wine, a concoction of bitter melon and herbs which he insists is good for the circulation of the blood. She said she could not evaluate this claim, but she could attest that it was an effective purgative.” — “I am glad I ate well on the journey, for Las lived up to his reputation. I never met a more compassionate soul, nor a worse host. If you were not bleeding, feverish or puking your guts out, it was though he stared right through you. When I arrived at his house, he muttered a welcome then dashed off. The Emir (Tais Banu-Qild) had returned from the battle of Husn Fulq, and there were bones to be set, wounds to be cleaned, and infections to treat. Las didn't even offer me his bitter circulatory concoction, but his two servants took pity on me and brought me some stuffed sausages from the marketplace, begging me to eat them quickly lest their master see the food and give me a lecture on the cleanliness of street cuisine.” — “Las returned later and spent the rest of the night dictating orders to his servants for 'willowbark' (for fevers), 'aquavit' (to clean wounds), and 'silk' (for bandages). I noticed the servants took far more silver than necessary to pay for these goods, and made some comment to one of them about it. The servant explained that their master never remembered to pay them as he spent all his money on medicines for strangers, so they pilfered freely to make ends meet. Las never noticed. Needless to say the silver Istiana had left with him for me was long gone. I compiled a report of what little intelligence I had for Istiana, and I hope he remembered to deliver it.” — “”
