The Dervish's Prayers Will Deliver My Daughter From the Strange Malady

The dervish, who could not imagine what had become of him, was enchanted as his reappearance. He told them of the attempt on his life made by his guest of the previous day and then retired into his cell. But when morning came he perceived a place in the side of the well which was broken, and where he could easily climb out. The Sultan sent orders at once that the princess was set out as soon as possible with her usual staff of attendants. When she arrived, she was so thickly veiled that the dervish could not see her face but he desired a braisier to be held over her head and laid the seven hairs on the burning coals.
