Melon-sellers on the Nile. These melon merchants do
a thriving trade in their green-rinded red-fleshed fruit of
the finest flavour, for Egypt was famous as a land of fresh
vegetables of old, and is so still. The children of Israel
wept to remember "we did eat in Egypt freely; the
cucumbers and the melons."-Aumbers xi. 4-5.
