This I easily foresaw would give the jealous Zinabi no small uneasiness ; she always affected to be distinguished from her two companions ; would bear no equality, but in everything expected the preference, and therefore, when she saw her rival dressed so splendidly, it vexed her to the heart, and she gave me some severe reproaches on the subject. It was in vain to tell her that Zalig's mother had sent her the clothes for a present ; I was therefore obliged to have recourse to another expedient.... Accordingly, I took Zalig aside and spoke to her in this manner : You cannot conceive the joy I feel to see the uneasiness your clothes have given Zinabi ; I am dis- pleased with her haughty behaviour, and if you pursue my advice there are ways enough to mortify her pride. If by a malicious generosity you wish to triumph still more over her, make her a present of those clothes she so much envies you, and see whether she has the mean- ness to wear your cast-offs. In the mean time, for your own honour and her disgrace, persuade yourself they are old things, which you have no farther occasion for, and therefore give them to her as a proof of the contemptuous light in which you behold her.
