If he continued northwest across the Arabian Sea from Kalhat, Marco Polo would most likely describe Hormuz.
The city of Hormuz is located in current-day Iran, and it is located northwest from Kalhat - also known as Qalhat - which is located north of Sur, in Oman. This is the route that Polo took in his returning trip from China.
On the other hand, both Dhofar and Socotra are southwest from Kalhat, also in Oman. Also, while Venetia is northeast from Kalhat, it would be the last city he would have described after visiting Kalhat.
The themes of friendship and loyalty are developed in the first excerpt from Bret Harte's "Tennessee's Partner" by suggesting three infidelities, since the character Tennessee courted his Partner's wife, and the bride accepted him, but later on she abandoned him and went out with another man. The excerpt also suggests a strong affection and loyalty from Tennessee's Partner towards Tennessee, even though he has stolen his wife. The second excerpt likewise reflects Tennessee's Partner's unconditional affection and admiration for Tennessee, even after his death. The character's delirium is making him seeing his beloved friend, whom he fondly calls "old girl", coming his way. He struggles to accomplish his goal of putting him (his dead body) in the cart.
