ABSTRACT
This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter IV of Ada Reis, Volume III. Ada Reis, with a humility and a desire of obtaining popularity which he had never felt before, made his obeisances to the throng who surrounded him. At length, recovering himself a little, he reassumed the air of dignity to which he had so long accustomed himself upon earth, yet leaned his arm familiarly upon Kabkarra’s shoulder, and began to ask him questions upon every thing he heard or saw. Ada Reis and his guide paused as they entered the picture gallery; it was indeed a sight to surprise; from the days of old until the present hour, there were portraits of everyone who had betrayed his country or forsaken his God.
