Had the ague for two months. Saw the Czar in August; 'A charming excursion to my pleasure-house, said his Majesty; 'we must make another party there soon." As the Dutchman delivered himself of the little history he was by no means forgetful of the Hungary wines; and as Bacchus and Venus have old affinity, he now began to grow eloquent on the women.
"We have transferred Biron to another colony, and Herr Munnich will occupy the poetical pleasure-house of his friend Biron at Pelym." "Ah, that is delightful, in fact!" cried Elizabeth, clapping her little hands. "How will Munnich curse himself for cruelty which now comes home to himself! That is very witty in you, Herr Lestocq; very laughable, is it not, Alexis?
The Inca was not long a prisoner before he discovered the besetting passion of the Spaniards, their thirst for gold. A party was sent to pillage his pleasure-house, and brought back a rich booty in gold and silver, whose weight and value filled the conquerors with delight.
I pray you to leave me! Then, as I of course refused, she added: 'Ah, you know not and then whispered in my ear, though the poor senseless girl would scarce have caught the sound, the dreadful word 'smallpox. I could answer at once that I had had it long, long ago, in my childish days, when my grandmother nursed me and both my brothers through it, and she breathed freely, I asked her why she apprehended it, and she told me that some weeks ago her husband had taken the whole party down to his pleasure-house in the country, to superintend some arrangement in his garden, which he wished to make before the frost set in.
He then departed; and orders were given that on the next day all should be in readiness for the Sowarree, a grand procession, when the Prince was to receive the Begum as his honoured guest at his pleasure-house in the gardens.
Away they go to some pleasure-house that has been previously fixed upon, where a ball and collation are prepared, and where each man, as his partner descends, has the delicious privilege of saluting her. O heavens and earth! I may grow to be a thousand years old, but I can never forget the rapture of that salute.
The morning after I woke to know my soul had built itself a lordly pleasure-house; its dome and towers were firm and finished, glowing in the light that "never was on land or sea." How elate I grew in this atmosphere! The face of Nemesis was veiled even. No eye saw the pure, pale nimbus ringed above it.
The king then enters a pleasure-house or pavilion called the kelikailas or mountain of sport built for him by the minister. It is a beautiful palace built of crystal, and decorated with statues and paintings. The chamber also contains the portrait of Mrigankavali, the damsel whom the prince has really seen in his supposed dream.
"Little, sequestered pleasure-house" it seemed as though "the many could not miss it," but not even the few have found it. It is part of the scheme of the sympathetic historian that Stella should be the victim of hope deferred, watching for letters from Swift.
It was evening and as the palace was very hot I went into the garden and making my way to that little pleasure-house where Seti and I were wont to study, I sat myself down there and, being weary, fell asleep. When I awoke from a dream about some woman who was weeping, night had fallen and the full moon shone in the sky, so that its rays fell on the garden before me.
