     a- A Group of these importunate pests- for which Alexandria is famed- confronted us in the square as we landed.
     b- And in spite of our reiterated refusals to accept their services, one of them persisted in preceeding us.
    c- But at last finding we were inflexible, he profited by our passing to look ata shop to assemble a crowd around us, and demanded money for guiding us thither.
    d- We were extremely frightened, when fortunately a gentleman (a british tourist) forces his way through the mob, acconpanied by a policeman.
    e- And our persecutor was led off in custody.
