Neither in the train to Kirkuk, nor in the Rest House at Mosul, nor last night on the train had she slept properly. Now, weary of lying wakeful in the hot stuffiness of her overheated compartment, she got up and peered out. Nothing to see, of course. Just a long, poor-lighted platform with loud altercations in Arabic going on somewhere. The train, with a terrific jerk, moved slowly forward (fiction writing).
