so good a home," said Mishael, "and if this officer, under whose roof she
has found a shelter, partakes of the spirit of Barzello, her home must be

his lovely Jupheena are below, and will be here in a few moments, and
from hence I accompany them to their home. Hark ye! I hear their
footsteps."
Barzello, with a smiling countenance, entered the apartment, leading by
the hand his beautiful daughter.
