ABSTRACT

This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter XI of Ada Reis, Volume 1. As soon as Fiormonda found that her lover had really left her, she informed Shaffou Paca of all that had passed; repeated the words Phaos had addressed to her, sang over his songs, showed his presents, and wept and pined, and complained in the same violent way which she had done after their first interview. There was a certain juice Ada Reis applied to his daughter’s lips whenever he perceived passion was likely to overpower her reason; and there was a pipe pitched to a low tone, by which, when enraged himself, he endeavoured to modulate his own voice. Ada Reis commanded Shaffou Paca to take better care of his daughter and commanded the guards to keep strict watch in future.
