He began calling on all he met of Gebel's people to put their trust in him, so that he could deliver them from their spirits and enable them to enjoy undreamed of happiness. Gebel's people whispered that Shaafiy's son Rifaa was wrong in the head and must be counted a lunatic. Some said it was because of his natural eccentricity, while others attributed it to his having married a woman like Jasmine. Such discussions went on in the cafes and tenement-houses, around the barrows and in the hashish ...dens.
Mother-at-Heart was astounded when Rifaa whispered i n her ear wi th his usual gentleness: - Won't you let me cure you?
She clapped her hand to her heart and said: - Who says I'm possessed by an evil spirit? Is that what you thi nk of the woman who's loved you like a son?
- I only offer my services to people I love and respect. You do good and bring blessings; but you're a bit greedy, and so you make a trade of sick people. If you were delivered from your ruling spirit you 'd do good free of charge.
