` Oh , I did that on purpose , ' answered Dschemil . ' I did not want everyone to know . ' Then he turned to his father and his mother , his brothers and his sisters-in-law , and said , ` We must set to work at once , for the wedding will be to-day . ' A beautiful litter was prepared to carry the bride to her new home , but she shrank back , saying , ' I am afraid , lest the ogre should carry me off again . ' ` How can the ogre get at you when we are all here ? ' they said . ` There are two thousand of us all told , and every man has his sword . ' ` He will manage it somehow , ' answered Dschemila , ` he is a powerful king ! ' ` She is right , ' said an old man . ` Take away the litter , and let her go on foot if she is afraid . ' ` But it is absurd ! ' exclaimed the rest ; ` how can the ogre get hold of her ? ' ' I will not go , ' said Dschemila again . ` You do not know that monster ; I do . ' And while they were disputing the bridegroom arrived . ` Let her alone . She shall stay in her father 's house . After all , I can live here , and the wedding feast shall be made ready . ' And so they were married at last , and died without having had a single quarrel . -LSB- Märchen und Gedichte aus der Stadt Tripolis . -RSB-
