问答题Miss Quested and Aziz and a guide continued the slightly tedious expedition. They did not talk much, for the sun was getting high. The air they felt like a warm bath into which hotter water is trickling constantly, the temperature rose and rose, the boulders said, " I am alive," the small stones answered, "I am almost alive. " Between the chinks lay the ashes of little plants. They meant to climb to the rocking-stone on the summit, but it was too far, and they contented themselves with the big group of caves. . . And having no one else to speak to on that eternal rock, she gave rein to the subject, of marriage and said in her honest, decent, inquisitive way; " Have you one wife or more than one?"

If she had said, " Do you worship one god or several?" he would not have objected. But to ask an educated India Moslem how many wives he has-appalling, hideous! He was in trouble how to conceal his confusion. " One, one in my own particular case," he spluttered, and let go of her hand. Quite a number of caves were at the top of the track, and thinking, " Damn the English even at their best," he plunged into one of them to recover his balance. She followed at her leisure, quite unconscious that she had said the wrong thing, and not seeing him, she also went into a cave, thinking with half her mind " sight-seeing bores me" , and wondering with the other half about marriage.
