As to other matters, I will return no more to your father's;I want not to have my ears dinned by him and his dotards with theviolation of the rites of hospitality; as if it were less an honour foryou to espouse the sovereign of the world than a girl dressed up like aboy!" Nouronihar could find nothing to oppose in a discourse so eloquent; sheonly wished the amorous monarch had discovered more ardour for thecarbuncle of Giamschid; but flattered herself it would graduallyincrease, and therefore y...ielded to his will with the most bewitchingsubmission.
When the Caliph judged it proper, he called for Bababalouk, who wasasleep in the cave of Meimoune, and dreaming that the phantom ofNouronihar, having mounted him once more on her swing, had just given himsuch a jerk, that he one moment soared above the mountains, and the nextsunk into the abyss; starting from his sleep at the voice of his master, he ran gasping for breath, and had nearly fallen backward at the sight, as he believed, of the spectre by whom he had so lately been haunted inhis dream.
