ABSTRACT
This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter VI of Ada Reis, Volume II. Fiormonda seemed to have forgotten every thing on earth but Condulmar. Shaffou Paca, offending Ada Reis one evening by an abrupt and unsolicited intrusion upon his presence, he sent her back to Egypt; but previous to her departure, she boasted that Fiormonda was now no longer in need of her assistance. Fiormonda was thus left entirely to her own guidance. Indeed, Ada Reis was not much used to watch over the female sex, with a view to admonishing and protecting them. The Duke of Montevallos, suffering under a hopeless passion, and despairing of success, resolved to quit Lima, and fix his residence in the mother country. He wished, however, to make one more effort to recommend himself to Fiormonda before he bade her farewell forever.
