'I know no slave-girl, rejoined the eunuch, 'nor any one else; and none shall enter here without being searched by me, according to the King's orders. At this the old woman feigned to be angry and said, 'I thought thee a man of sense and good breeding: but, if thou be changed, I will let the princess know of it and how thou hinderest her slave-girl. Then she cried out to Taj el Mulouk, saying, 'Pass on, O damsel! So he passed on into the vestibule, whilst the eunuch was silent and said nothing.
