Ismail interferes

aside and privately begged him to mention no more castles,
even if he knew of them, in the district of the Shah Rud and
its mosquitoes. He would find me castles higher up, said he.
I naturally resented this interference, but that night, lying out
in the field under my mosquito net, I began to feel very ill.
Providence was on the side of Ismail; it seemed wiser to travel
up towards Alamut and leave the river valley for a healthier
season.
