Clodio bade him good-bye. The gentleman was busy all the night, without once stopping, in arranging his hair and attaching various ribbons to his clothes. His hat bore curled feathers of various kinds ; his shirt and clothes he rubbed with different kinds of scent. When all this was completed, he passed the rest of the night composing sentences and searching for the choicest Turkish words to use. Next, he began to picture to himself how he must present himself before the king, the arguments and answers that he would have to give to the royal questions, which last he invented himself. From one thing to another, he finished by staring out of the window for the approach of dawn. Day had hardly broken when he issued forth hurriedly in search of Clodio, who pointed out to him that it was not yet time ; when the hour arrived, he would fetch him. This he did, bringing with him Mestre Pit (? Mr. Pitt), who had also quitted Europe to see the world, and for the time being was to pass as the gentleman's servant. They arrived at the palace, the gentleman highly delighted at being so near the satisfying of his curiosity. He was as one very weary and very thirsty who reaches a crystal spring, not knowing how dear his curiosity would cost him. - [Previous: 39.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.3.3) - [Next: 39.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.3.5) - [Up: 39.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.39.3.4) · Pramāṇa
