I watched him and saw that he purchased many other kinds of provisions at other places , and when the slave could carry no more his master commanded him to return home and have supper ready at midnight . ` When left alone the man went up the street , and turning into a jeweller 's shop , brought out a watch that as far as I could see was made of silver . He walked on a few steps , then stooped and picked up a gold watch which lay at his feet . At this point I ran up and told him that if he did not give me half its price I would report him to the Cadi ; he agreed , and conducting me to his house produced four hundred sequins , which he said was my share , and having got what I wanted I went away . ` As it was the hour for attending on my lord I returned home and accompanied you to the Cadi , where I heard the story of the three Jews and learned the importance of the two watches I had left at the stranger 's . I hastened to his house , but he had gone out , and I could only find the slave , whom I told that I was the bearer of important news for his master . Believing me to be one of his friends , he begged me to wait , and showed me into a room where I saw the two watches lying on the table . I put them in my pocket , leaving the four hundred sequins in place of the gold watch and three gold pieces which I knew to be the price of the other . As you know the watches never remain with the person who buys them , this man may think himself very lucky to get back his money . I have wound them both up , and at this instant Aurora and Argentine are locked safely into my own room . ' Everybody was so delighted to hear this news that Azemi was nearly stifled with their embraces , and Neangir could hardly be prevented from running to break in the door , though he did not even know where the page slept . But the page begged to have the honour of fetching the ladies himself , and soon returned leading them by the hand . For some minutes all was a happy confusion , and Ibrahim took advantage of it to fall on his knees before Aurora , and search in the fifth fold of her dress for the missing coral bead . The Book of Spells had told the truth ; there it was , and as the chaplet was now complete the young man 's days of seeking were over . In the midst of the general rejoicing Hassan alone bore a gloomy face . ` Alas ! ' he said , ` everyone is happy but the miserable being you see before you . I have lost the only consolation in my grief , which was to feel that I had a brother in misfortune ! ' ` Be comforted , ' replied the Bassa ; ` sooner or later the dervish who stole the pink bag is sure to be found . ' Supper was then served , and after they had all eaten of rare fruits which seemed to them the most delicious in the whole world , the Bassa ordered the flask containing the elixir of love to be brought and the young people to drink of it .
Then their eyes shone with a new fire , and they swore to be true XXXXX each other till death .
