### [374.12](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama~en-mt.374.12)

17. Tale of the Fastidious Merchant  
\[ordering her to search\] and when she found her, to bring the slave-girl to him. The merchant's slave-girl  
came at the accustomed time and familiar spot, and by careful inquiry and complete investigation from the inhabitants of that place,  
she asked about the slave-girl's whereabouts and dwelling, and sought the directions to her house.  
When it became known, she went to her quarters, and with the most perfect and comprehensive courtesy, and with the most complete modesty,  
she said: "My master is asking for you."
