1Burton’s footnote to this passage reads, “Easterns, who utterly ignore the ‘social glass’ of Western civilization, drink honestly to get drunk; and, when far gone, are addicted to horse-play . . . which leads to quarrels and bloodshed. Hence it is held highly irreverent to assert of patriarchs, prophets and saints that they ‘drank wine’; and Moslems agree with our ‘Teetotallers’ in denying that, except in the case of Noah, inebriates are anywhere mentioned in Holy Writ.”

2Burton: “Arab. ‘Zambúr,’ whose head is amputated in female circumcision.”

3She, by H. Rider Haggard (1886).
