her father, give me in marriage to 

 him, if you will not, I will kill my- 

 self. Her father was astounded, and 

 said, my dear, consider yourself, 

 behave as a modest girl, she said, 

 Toube Nouzbilla, this shall be my 

 husband, he or no one. The father 

 was at his wits' end for she was hia 

 only child. He said in his own mind, 

 by the permission of God, it is writ- 

 ten in the book of law make proper 

 marriage- He then married the two. 

 Some time had past away ; one day 

 the man said to his wife, let us go 

 to my country. She answered, well 

 let us set out, they set out and came 

 to his city. The whole people of the 

 village heard that Mulla Mansur 

 has got a pretty wife, the Kazi 

 started his slave off to Mulla Man- 

 sur's wife (saying) " make my 

 acquaintance" (the whole story of 

 the Kazi Mulla Mansur had be-

 him to come this evening: the Ka-

 went and gave the king's salam ; 

 the woman said long may he live, 

 give the king my salam and obedi-

 went to the king and said, Sire, this 

 evening I have done the thing, you 

 shall positively go. The king was 

 delighted. The Wazir had heard 

 the praises of the woman and dis- 

 patched his slave girl to her to ask 

 " make my friendship;" the girl went 

 and gave the message : she replied, 

 may he live long ; his feet are on my 

 eyes ; come this evening. The woman 

 dispatched the girl, who went to the 

 Wazir and said exaltation to you 

 Sir, I have performed the business, 

 you may certainly go this evening. 

 The Wazir was delighted. Tlie 

 Wakil had heard the woman's praises 

 and sent his slave girl to say 

 " make friendship with me;" the 

 girl went and delivered the message. 

 The woman said may he be exalted,
