Before they all disperse let the reader have the pleasure of a glimpse at a group of countenances that give unmistakable signs of genuine delight. "Charming!" cried Joram, in ecstasies. "The reward of fidelity and perseverance, Barzello!" THE stately mansion of Barzello was brilliantly illuminated. Streams of light poured forth from every window.
"Now, my good friend, what thinkest thou of the maid of Judah?" asked Barzello. "The Rose of Sharon is all loveliness," said Joram. "Ah, my friend, sawest thou not the majestic glance of that dark eye, the inimitable hue of those fair cheeks, the full perfection of those lips, the glossy richness of the profuse curls, and the marble whiteness of that model neck?
"But I trust that Jehovah hath overruled the whole in the end to the glory of his great name," said Mishael. "Surely he hath!" quickly answered Mathias. "Forever blessed be the memory of that delightful night when these eyes, at the house of Barzello, rested on the bright charms of the 'Rose of Sharon." "The rose no longer blooms, Mathias!" answered Perreeza.
"Never fear that, my dear brother. The remembrance of Barzello's kindness is too deeply graven on Perreeza's heart to be ever forgotten; and while I remain under the roof of the king's officer, I shall daily become more and more deeply indebted to the kind Barzello."
"They ask, O king, as the greatest favor, that this their young orphan sister, be permitted by the king to accompany her brothers to the land of the Chaldeans." "And has not this small favor been granted?" "Barzello now stands in the presence of his sovereign in behalf of the Hebrew damsel, asking for her a permission." "And the permission is granted.
Barzello took the maid of Judah by the hand, and, approaching his friend, said: "This is young Perreeza, of the royal line of Judah, who, of her own accord, accompanied her brothers to the land of the Chaldeans, and has seen fit to favor us with her company." "No very small favor, Barzello," cried Ashpenaz, bowing low. "I hope the partiality of the gods will not make us quarrel."
"The Lily of the Valley," said Joram, referring to Jupheena, "has found a sweet companion, and the maid of Judah, I trust, will not be displeased if, by the request of my good friend Barzello, I give her the name of an appropriate rose." "On the contrary," said Perreeza, "thy young handmaiden is very grateful to the noble friend of Barzello for every token of his notice and kind regard."
An officer of the king, in the city, with whom I am well acquainted, having learned something of the history and deportment of this your sister, would desire her, if not contrary to her wishes, to be an inmate of his house, and a companion for his only child a maiden of sixteen summers. Would this be acceptable to the young damsel?" "Abundantly acceptable, most kind Barzello!" said Perreeza.
Let the maid of Judah have no fears, for I have every confidence that she will do well." "Is the noble officer at home?" asked the maid, endeavoring to appear composed. "He is about the premises, and will soon be in," replied Barzello, with a smile. "What delicious flowers!" cried Perreeza, breathing a little easier. "Babylon abounds with the like, fair damsel.
The illustrious Barzello, we trust, will pardon us for this intrusion upon the time of the King of Babylon's noble officer, and listen patiently to their urgent prayer. Thy kind deportment towards thy servants, for these many days, has given them courage thus to stand in thy presence without any painful, distracted fears.
