Alla ad Deen, agreeably surprised at an apparition he so little expected in his present calamity, replied, "Save my life, genie, a second time, either by shewing me to the place where the palace I caused to be built now stands, or immediately transporting it back where it first stood."
The princess, who took great pleasure in giving the sultan the satisfaction he demanded, said, "If I appear so little altered, I beg of your majesty to consider that I received new life yesterday morning by the presence of my dear husband and deliverer Alla ad Deen, whom I looked upon and bewailed as lost to me; and the happiness of seeing and embracing of whom has almost recovered me to my former state of health.

Alla same I'll bet she don't miss him much." "Nor Nebraska, neither. He'll never come back to bother her again, that's a cinch. Who's that ahead?" "That" was Molly waiting for them at a turn in the trail.
Alla was pensive all through the first act, and while she was making her change from a lady-in-waiting to a bathing girl she remarked that she was going to write an ode past tense of I O U, I guess entitled 'Thoughts on Hearing Ben Teal Conduct a Chorus Rehearsal.
