ABSTRACT
This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter XII of Ada Reis, Volume 1. Love, fear, hope, heaven, Phaos, the Bey, and Kabkarra, were alternately subjects of Fiormonda’s incoherent conversation: until at length Shaffou Paca maintained that a struggle between the evil and the good principle was taking place within her mind, which would probably end in the total alienation of her reason. Sickness fell upon her. Life in all its glorious promise faded before her. Doubts, fears, passions, arose within her breast; and Ada Reis, alarmed, and awake to her danger, resolved, without loss of time, to invoke once more the aid of Kabkarra. Kabkarra sent in his place a skilful female, Zezel Peer Banyan, to treat Fiormonda with all the care.
