Tall palms reared their stately fronds above the group and slave girls, with fierce Nubians in attendance, waited in mute homage at either side of the throne. Lamps of brass glittered in the alcoves back of the great dais, and above it all the roofs and minarets of the ancient city gloomed in the moonlight of the thousand and second night.,"Eh?" says Lady Rodney, rousing from a day-dream. "I don't know, I'm sure; but I'll see about it; I'll make inquiries.","Well, yes, so far as my memory serves me, I think she was.","The devil-stick!" he cried. "By all that is wonderful, the devil-stick!"，And that night, when she is indeed gone, a storm comes up from the sea, and dashes the great waves inward upon the rocky coast.
