affectionately taking Perreeza by the hand; "in Jupheena thou wilt find a
worthy companion and an affectionate friend."
"Thy daughter," answered Jupheena, "will always esteem it a high pleasure
to add to the happiness of her young friend."
"And Jehovah assisting me," cried the Hebrew maid, "I will endeavor so to
walk before my kind protectors as to be always worthy of their friendly
regard."
"If it be pleasing to thy young friend," said Barzello, addressing
himself to his daughter, "she may be again conducted to inform her
brothers of her new home."
"My brothers will be overjoyed," answered Perreeza, "to learn of the
happiness of their sister; and to me, it will afford the greatest
pleasure to convey to them the joyful intelligence."
"If it will please my daughter," said Barzello, "she may accompany us.

"Thy daughter most gratefully accepts thy kind offer."

cousin without any delay, while Jupheena will accompany her father on an
errand of business at the house of an officer nearby.
