Excerpt: ... the bazaars as Turkish are made in Paris and London. Everything made at Constantinople is extravagantly dear and disgracefully worked. If you take a dragoman he will conduct you infallibly to the shop of some colleague (seldom a good one), and he stipulates for a profit of at least 50 per cent, on all your purchases. The unblushing impudence of the bazaar tradesmen is very droll. They will often ask you four times the price they intend to take; therefore, if you offer them a third as an excuse for going away, they promptly confound you by putting up the article with a ready smile, and holding out their hand with trembling eagerness for the money. No extortion is too monstrous to be attempted with a Frank. The bazaar dragomans are almost as remarkable a class as their political brethren. They speak a smattering of every language, but no one correctly. This is partly slovenliness, partly cunning. They always keep a door open to get out of a difficulty, by saving that they did not clearly understand or express what they ought to have done. They seem to have acquired the tricks of every people, and the virtues of none. They are shameless and insolent rogues. For instance, you desire to make a purchase. There is of course a dispute about the price. Your dragoman shrugs his shoulders, and pretends to think you unreasonable, but utters some impudent piece of flattery to you, and takes you elsewhere in order that you may not have a doubt of his loyalty. At the next shop he tells you, after a long discussion, in which he has been haggling in some unknown tongue for his own profit, that there the article you want is dearer. If you know the price you ought to pay, and resolutely keep to it, he will probably insult and leave you, or keep you walking about till nightf..., 1000, Subjects, 1, Arts & Photography, 2, Biographies & Memoirs, 3, Business & Investing, 3248857011, Calendars, 4, Children's Books, 12290, Christian Books & Bibles, 4366, Comics & Graphic Novels, 5, Computers & Technology, 6, Cookbooks, Food & Wine, 48, Crafts, Hobbies & Home, 21, Education & Reference, 301889, Gay & Lesbian, 10, Health, Fitness & Dieting, 9, History, 86, Humor & Entertainment, 10777, Law, 17, Literature & Fiction, 173514, Medical Books, 18, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense, 20, Parenting & Relationships, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 173507, Professional & Technical, 22, Religion & Spirituality, 23, Romance, 75, Science & Math, 25, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 4736, Self-Help, 26, Sports & Outdoors, 28, Teen & Young Adult, 27, Travel, 283155, Books<
