- [101](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/101/) — Camaralzaman did as he was bid, and inquired why this precaution was taken.
- [102](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/102/) — "Because," said the gardener, "I see that you are a stranger and a Mussulman, and this town is almost entirely inhabited by idolaters, who hate and persecute all of our faith.
- [103](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/103/) — It seems almost a miracle that has led you to this house, and I am indeed glad that you have found a place of safety."
- [104](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/104/) — Camaralzaman warmly thanked the kind old man for offering him shelter, and was about to say more, but the gardener interrupted him with:
- [105](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/105/) — "Leave compliments alone.
- [106](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/106/) — You are weary and must be hungry.
- [107](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/107/) — Come in, eat, and rest."
- [108](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/108/) — So saying he led the prince into his cottage, and after satisfying his hunger begged to learn the cause of his arrival.
- [109](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/109/) — Camaralzaman told him all without disguise, and ended by inquiring the shortest way to his father's capital. "
- [110](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/110/) — For," added he, "if I tried to rejoin the princess, how should I find her after eleven days' separation.
- [111](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/111/) — Perhaps, indeed, she may be no longer alive!"
- [112](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/112/) — At this terrible thought he burst into tears.
- [113](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg128/25/113/) — The gardener informed Camaralzaman that they were quite a year's land journey to any Mahomedan country, but that there was a much shorter route by sea to the Ebony Island, from whence the Isles of the Children of Khaledan could be easily reached, and that a ship sailed once a year for the Ebony Island by which he might get so far as his very home.
