{46} A dragoman never interprets in terms the courteous language
of the East.
{47} A title signifying transcender or conqueror of Satalieh.
{48} Spelt "Attalia" and sometimes "Adalia" in English books and
maps.
{49} While Lady Hester Stanhope lived, although numbers visited
the convent, she almost invariably refused admittance to strangers.
She assigned as a reason the use which M. de Lamartine had made of
his interview. Mrs. T., who passed some weeks at Djouni, told me,
that when Lady Hester read his account of this interview, she
exclaimed, "It is all false; we did not converse together for more
than five minutes; but no matter, no traveller hereafter shall
betray or forge my conversation." The author of "Eothen," however,
was her guest, and has given us an interesting account of his visit
in his brilliant volume.
