Subsequently I stated the remedy, which was nothing more than to counsel them to get her married. That was (I added) what I believed to be the healing medicine for her malady. They believed me, and forthwith married her off to a slave of the prince's household. Two months afterwards they sent for her to the palace, just to see if there was any change in her. They noticed that her colour had returned, that she enjoyed perfect health, and, in fact, she was with child. The other women servants on seeing her longed for their fellow-servant's disease in order to obtain the same remedy. To succeed in this design, they let me know that they would pretend to be ill, and I must be so good as to ordain the same medicine to be given to them as had been given to Dil-jo. I carried out this commission to the best of my power, and thus several were married, according to their wish. These people were subsequently very grateful for the kindness I had done them, and gave me proof of it from time to time. Thus it is through them that I have been informed of many particulars as to what went on in the court of this prince.
