The Prince and Princess and their suite fared on without stopping through the first day and the second and the third and the fourth，nor did they cease faring for a whole month till they came to a spacious champaign，abounding in pasturage，where they pitched their tents；and they ate and drank and rested，and the Princess Budur lay down to sleep. Presently，Kamar alZaman went in to her and found her lying asleep clad in a shift of apricotcoloured silk that showed all and everything；and on her head was a coif of goldcloth embroidered with pearls and jewels.
