Now it was hard winter weather, and Kemerezzeman ceased not to lower the eunuch into the water and pull him up again, whilst he screamed and called for help.
Hence it comes to pass, that to own Christ as the Lord and head of Christians, is essential to the founding Christian society. Philip answereth, that if he believed with all his heart, he might; the eunuch thereupon confessing Christ, was baptized.
In the chamber was the sound of thunder, crackling like broken glass. The bodies flamed, crumbled. There was a little smoke nauseous, feebly protesting, beaten out by the consuming fires almost before it could rise. Where had been the heap of slain capped by the black eunuch there was but a little whirling cloud of sad gray dust.
It may be gathered from this what a large enclosure there must be for these houses where so many people live, and what streets and lanes they must have. The king lives by himself inside the palace, and when he wishes to have with him one of his wives he orders a eunuch to go and call her.
The eunuch rubbed his jeweled hands, smiling the while as was his custom, and murmured: "It can't fail to succeed now; the girl is caught, her lover is at my beck and call, the old secret flight of steps is in good order, Nitetis has been weeping bitterly on a day of universal rejoicing, and the blue lily opens to-morrow night. Ah, ha! my little plan can't possibly fail now.
"On hearing this order, the young man thanked me, tears of joy came upon his face; and we passed the night as usual in laughing and delight; in the morning he took leave. The eunuch, agreeably to my orders, bought and delivered over to him the garden and the slave. When in the taks the liquors of various colours, arranged in elegant phials, fell upon my sight; my heart longed to take a draught.
And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say. When it was the One and Eighty-seventh Night, She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that Kamar al- Zaman said to the eunuch, "By Allah! I will not draw thee up out of this well until thou tell me the story of the young lady and who it was took her away whilst I slept."
They had rushed frantically up and down the vast hall as if desperate; but Mardion the eunuch had little manhood, and Zeno was a characterless old author who had won the Queen's esteem, and the high office which he occupied solely by the vivid power of imagination, that enabled him constantly to devise new exhibitions, amusements, and entertainments, and present them with magical splendour.
I therefore was on the point of giving an order for her own stool to be brought in, when Her Majesty stopped me and said that she would sit on one of the chairs in the room, and so bring me good luck. So she sat down in an easy chair. A eunuch brought in her tea, which I handed to her myself instead of letting the eunuch wait upon her.
Then they took me unawares and gelded me: and when they brought her to her husband, they made me her eunuch, to go before her, wherever she went, whether to the bath or to her father's house. This then, O my brothers, is my story and how I came to be docked of my cullions; and peace be on you. Then said the second eunuch, 'Know, O my brothers, that Story of the Eunuch Kafour.
