ABSTRACT
This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter VI of Ada Reis, volume 1. Ada Reis left his child, and remained away many months, when he heard suddenly that she was ill. He immediately returned to his country residence to see her, and was struck with the air of debility and melancholy visible in her once cheerful countenance. A message was brought informing Ada Reis that on the ensuing morning Bey would visit his destined bride. Ada Reis had been so intent upon honouring the Bey, and upon seeing all due respect and ceremony observed towards him, that he had not heeded before, nor did he observe now, the strange conduct of the Iman. He tenderly embraced his child, and then attended upon the Bey; but as they quitted the chamber, he thought he saw the figure of Kabkarra walking out before him.
