Alas
,
I
may
say
with
Lucullus
,
if
I
could
have
anticipated
the
honor
of
your
visit
,
I
would
have
prepared
for
it
.
But
such
as
is
my
hermitage
,
it
is
at
your
disposal
;
such
as
is
my
supper
,
it
is
yours
to
share
,
if
you
will
.
Ali
,
is
the
supper
ready
?
"
At
this
moment
the
tapestry
moved
aside
,
and
a
Nubian
,
black
as
ebony
,
and
dressed
in
a
plain
white
tunic
,
made
a
sign
to
his
master
that
all
was
prepared
in
the
dining-room
.
"
Now
,
"
said
the
unknown
to
Franz
,
"
I
do
not
know
if
you
are
of
my
opinion
,
but
I
think
nothing
is
more
annoying
than
to
remain
two
or
three
hours
together
without
knowing
by
name
or
appellation
how
to
address
one
another
.
Pray
observe
,
that
I
too
much
respect
the
laws
of
hospitality
to
ask
your
name
or
title
.
I
only
request
you
to
give
me
one
by
which
I
may
have
the
pleasure
of
addressing
you
.
As
for
myself
,
that
I
may
put
you
at
your
ease
,
I
tell
you
that
I
am
generally
called
'
Sinbad
the
Sailor
.
'
"
"
And
I
,
"
replied
Franz
,
"
will
tell
you
,
as
I
only
require
his
wonderful
lamp
to
make
me
precisely
like
Aladdin
,
that
I
see
no
reason
why
at
this
moment
I
should
not
be
called
Aladdin
.
That
will
keep
us
from
going
away
from
the
East
whither
I
am
tempted
to
think
I
have
been
conveyed
by
some
good
genius
.
"
"
Well
,
then
,
Signor
Aladdin
,
"
replied
the
singular
amphitryon
,
"
you
heard
our
repast
announced
,
will
you
now
take
the
trouble
to
enter
the
dining-room
,
your
humble
servant
going
first
to
show
the
way
?
"
At
these
words
,
moving
aside
the
tapestry
,
Sinbad
preceded
his
guest
.
Franz
now
looked
upon
another
scene
of
enchantment
;
the
table
was
splendidly
covered
,
and
once
convinced
of
this
important
point
he
cast
his
eyes
around
him
.
The
dining-room
was
scarcely
less
striking
than
the
room
he
had
just
left
;
it
was
entirely
of
marble
,
with
antique
bas-reliefs
of
priceless
value
;
and
at
the
four
corners
of
this
apartment
,
which
was
oblong
,
were
four
magnificent
statues
,
having
baskets
in
their
hands
.
These
baskets
contained
four
pyramids
of
most
splendid
fruit
;
there
were
Sicily
pine-apples
,
pomegranates
from
Malaga
,
oranges
from
the
Balearic
Isles
,
peaches
from
France
,
and
dates
from
Tunis
.
The
supper
consisted
of
a
roast
pheasant
garnished
with
Corsican
blackbirds
;
a
boar
's
ham
with
jelly
,
a
quarter
of
a
kid
with
tartar
sauce
,
a
glorious
turbot
,
and
a
gigantic
lobster
.
Between
these
large
dishes
were
smaller
ones
containing
various
dainties
.
The
dishes
were
of
silver
,
and
the
plates
of
Japanese
china
.
Franz
rubbed
his
eyes
in
order
to
assure
himself
that
this
was
not
a
dream
.
Ali
alone
was
present
to
wait
at
table
,
and
acquitted
himself
so
admirably
,
that
the
guest
complimented
his
host
thereupon
.
"
Yes
,
"
replied
he
,
while
he
did
the
honors
of
the
supper
with
much
ease
and
grace
--
"
yes
,
he
is
a
poor
devil
who
is
much
devoted
to
me
,
and
does
all
he
can
to
prove
it
.
He
remembers
that
I
saved
his
life
,
and
as
he
has
a
regard
for
his
head
,
he
feels
some
gratitude
towards
me
for
having
kept
it
on
his
shoulders
.
"
Ali
approached
his
master
,
took
his
hand
,
and
kissed
it
.
"
Would
it
be
impertinent
,
Signor
Sinbad
,
"
said
Franz
,
"
to
ask
you
the
particulars
of
this
kindness
?
"
"
Oh
,
they
are
simple
enough
,
"
replied
the
host
.
"
It
seems
the
fellow
had
been
caught
wandering
nearer
to
the
harem
of
the
Bey
of
Tunis
than
etiquette
permits
to
one
of
his
color
,
and
he
was
condemned
by
the
bey
to
have
his
tongue
cut
out
,
and
his
hand
and
head
cut
off
;
the
tongue
the
first
day
,
the
hand
the
second
,
and
the
head
the
third
.
I
always
had
a
desire
to
have
a
mute
in
my
service
,
so
learning
the
day
his
tongue
was
cut
out
,
I
went
to
the
bey
,
and
proposed
to
give
him
for
Ali
a
splendid
double-barreled
gun
which
I
knew
he
was
very
desirous
of
having
.
He
hesitated
a
moment
,
he
was
so
very
desirous
to
complete
the
poor
devil
's
punishment
.
But
when
I
added
to
the
gun
an
English
cutlass
with
which
I
had
shivered
his
highness
's
yataghan
to
pieces
,
the
bey
yielded
,
and
agreed
to
forgive
the
hand
and
head
,
but
on
condition
that
the
poor
fellow
never
again
set
foot
in
Tunis
.
This
was
a
useless
clause
in
the
bargain
,
for
whenever
the
coward
sees
the
first
glimpse
of
the
shores
of
Africa
,
he
runs
down
below
,
and
can
only
be
induced
to
appear
again
when
we
are
out
of
sight
of
that
quarter
of
the
globe
.
"
Franz
remained
a
moment
silent
and
pensive
,
hardly
knowing
what
to
think
of
the
half-kindness
,
half-cruelty
,
with
which
his
host
related
the
brief
narrative
.
"
And
like
the
celebrated
sailor
whose
name
you
have
assumed
,
"
he
said
,
by
way
of
changing
the
conversation
,
"
you
pass
your
life
in
travelling
?
"
"
Yes
.
I
made
a
vow
at
a
time
when
I
little
thought
I
should
ever
be
able
to
accomplish
it
,
"
said
the
unknown
with
a
singular
smile
;
"
and
I
made
some
others
also
which
I
hope
I
may
fulfil
in
due
season
.
"
Although
Sinbad
pronounced
these
words
with
much
calmness
,
his
eyes
gave
forth
gleams
of
extraordinary
ferocity
.
