When it was the One Hundred and Sixtyfourth Night，She said，It hath reached me，O auspicious King，that when the jeweller heard these words he returned to his other house wherein he dwelt，and said to himself，'Indeed this that hath befallen me is what Abu alHasan feared and from which he fled to Bassorah.
And now I have fallen into it.'Presently the pillage of his pleasurehouse was noised abroad among the folk，and they came to him from all sides and places，some exulting in his misfortune and others excusing him and condoling with his sorrow； whilst he bewailed himself to them and for grief neither ate meat nor drank drink. And as he sat，repenting him of what he had done，behold one of his servants came in to him and said，'There is a person at the door who asketh for thee； and I know him not.'The jeweller went forth to him and saluted him who was a stranger；and the man whispered to him，'I have somewhat to say between our two selves.'Thereupon he brought him in and asked him，'What hast thou to tell me？'Quoth the man，'Come with me to thine other house；'and the jeweller enquired，'Dost thou then know my other house？'Replied the other，'I know all about thee and I know that also whereby Allah will dispel thy dolours.'
