that her Will was not az Allah's will.

They had travelled through the night.

family had gone from Djnzertn, with
intervals OF rest no longer than those
allowed to the Legion on march.
What they saw was a giant tent as
large as circus tent In n village of
America or Europe surrounded at a
distance by an army OF little tents,
black and dirty brown. No fiat and low

outstretched wings resting on the
sand.
