Description
Excerpt from Stories From the Arabian Nights
Robbed of the sense that it is Scheherazade who is speaking - Scheherazade, loquacious and self possessed, sitting up in bed at the renewed call of dawn to save her neck for the round of another day. Here is a figure of romance worth a dozen of the prolix stories to which it has been made sponsor; and often we may have followed the fortunes of some shoddy hero and heroine chie?y to determine at what possible point of interest the narrator could have left hanging that frail thread on which for another twenty-four hours her life was to depend.
