| Conan ... strolled about, eyeing the dazzling assortment of weapons, garments, jewelry, slaves, and such humble goods as farm implements and cooking pots. Everywhere he looked, Conan saw marvels: gaudy mountebanks with trained monkeys and dancing bears; painted courtesans, both male and female; a troupe of slant-eyed acrobats from some unknown sunrise land; a bookseller who swore his codices contained the wisdom of the ages. Magicians in wooden booths performed miracles for pence. Solemn astrologers offered horoscopes and forecasts of things to come. Stout merchants displayed fine woolen rugs, lustrous fabrics, and trays of rings and bracelets, while deformed beggars thrust wooden bowls beneath the noses of travelers, and starveling boys capered in mock merriment for pennies."* |
