Bokhara

In the latter part of the 9th century the family of the Samanid, sprung from Samarkand, reigned in splendour at Bokhara.

But his first remark was, "You must have gone through nice adventures on your way to Bokhara and Samarkand!"

Probably the most romantic and thrilling of all Wolff's experiences were those which he encountered at Bokhara in 1832.

Avenir wore an old Bokhara dressing-gown; a green neckerchief threw a deathly hue over his terribly sunken face.

It is interesting to note that a khafila from Bokhara for Kabul arrived about this time, and was duly looted.
