ABSTRACT

This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter XIV of Ada Reis, Volume 1. The character of Ada Reis was not formed to endure patiently the slightest appearance even of disrespect from a superior. He was astonished a few days after Kabkarra’s visit, at receiving an unceremonious mandate from the Pasha of Tripoly, commanding his immediate presence at his court. Fiormonda slowly recovered; she asked a thousand questions, and wept with regret when she heard they had left for ever the land in which they had so long sojourned. The thought of never more seeing her young lover, the loss of his gifts, with the confused remembrance of the strange events which had taken place, which appeared now like the delirium of fever, all tended to disquiet her mind.
