The first was, that after he had promised to sell me his boy for fifty roupies, he sent word he would not part with the boy for less than three hundred. I felt almost disposed to give him his price, that I might have it in my power to say a father had sold me his own child. The lad was remarkably well made, and his skin of the clearest black; the nose was not flat, nor the lips thick, as is commonly the case among the Ethiopians. I was certainly angry with Murat for having violated his engagement. - [Previous: 3.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.4.8) - [Next: 3.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.5.1) - [Up: 3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.4.9) · Pramāṇa
