gorgeous ornaments to me. I stood up to receive
them; on which his majesty said : " Sit down ; exa-
" mine my bazubunds at leisure; but remember,
" you are the first European who has ever had them
" put into his hands from the king's arms. I have
" thoughts of parting with the centre stone in each
" armlet: will you buy them ? " I replied: " It would
" be ridiculous in me to pretend to the possession of
" wealth equal to the purchase of jewels of such
" magnitude; but that if his majesty was seriously
" inclined to part with them, I thought I might be
" able to form a society of persons, of whom I would
" be one, able to do so : but, with his leave, I should
" prefer entering into the detail of the business with
" his Ministers and jeweller, to troubling his majesty
on the subject." " Aye, I know what you mean,"
said the king; " you can speak more freely to them
" than to me. But come ! tell me what you esteem
" the value of the Dereya-noor." I replied : " It re-

" tion into many very minute particulars, before I
" could venture to answer such a question." The
king replied: " Come! come! I am in a hurry : say
" something, that I may be able to guess what we
" are at." I said : " Please your majesty, always
" reserving to myself the right to correct hereafter
" the opinion I now deliver, I should not be afraid
" to give five lacs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees of rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf. for the Dereya-noor."
The king burst into a loud laugh, and said: " So! so !
" you are a pretty fellow, to value the Dereya-noor
" at five lacs One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees of rupees Indian silver coin also widely used in the Persian Gulf. , when Hajy Eusoof, my
' jeweller, has sworn by his head, and will swear by
