ABSTRACT

This chapter reproduces the text from Chapter VII of Ada Reis, Volume III. Lovers wandered around the galleries with the ladies of their hearts, asking of them their adventures, and describing what had occurred to themselves, since they had parted. Ada Reis, in transport, calling Coup de Vent, and Fleur de Rose, and Kabkarra, entreated that the splendid banquet might not be neglected, nor the déjeûné à la fourchette, of which he had partaken in the morning, prevent the evening repast. Ada Reis, with new animation in his eyes, filled his goblet to the brim, and laughed at the failure of each departing guest, swearing that he himself had never felt happier any where.
