daily intercourse with Mehevi, I should have remained until the time of
the festival ignorant of his regal character. But a new light had now

protection, and that he still continued to entertain for me the warmest
regard, as far at least as I was enabled to judge from appearances. For
the future I determined to pay most assiduous court to him, hoping that
eventually through his kindness I might obtain my liberty.
