He shook his head and moaned and signed to me with his hand as who should say⟳, "Take⟳ me on thy shoulders and carry⟳ me to the other side of the well-channel." And quoth I in my mind⟳, "I will deal⟳ kindly with him and do what he desireth; it may be I shall win⟳ me a reward⟳ in Heaven for he may be a paralytic."”
