ABSTRACT
This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter III of Ada Reis, Volume III. The gardens and long avenues which now lay before Ada Reis were filled with company, who appeared to him as distinctly as, heretofore, the inhabitants of the world which he had left. All, like himself, seemed strangers to the place; some arriving on the moment, others having been there a short time before him. The courts and the hall of entrance to the palace were full to excess; curiosity still impelled, and a desire of being first, led all alike to press forward; but as all, like Ada Reis, had met death upon their entrance, the crowding was not so inconvenient, nor the obstruction to be compared to that which takes place in one of our most select assemblies upon earth. Kabkarra led the way showing Ada Reis from one apartment into another, and conversing as he passed freely and jocosely with the company.
