forth from thee, and he shall fine-draw it and depart forthwith.”  Then she comforted her heart and going away from her, returned to the young man and acquainted him with what had passed.  Now when the Draper saw the turband-cloth, he determined to divorce his wife and waited only till he could collect that which was obligatory on him of the contingent dowry and what not else,[FN#495] for fear of her people.  When the crone arose in the morning, she took the young man and carried him into the Draper’s house.  The wife opened the door to her and the ill-omened old woman entered with him and said to the lady, “Go, fetch that which thou wouldest have fine-drawn and give it to my son.”  So saying, she bolted the door on her, whereupon the young man raped[FN#496] her against her will and did his want of her and went forth.  Then cried the crone, “Know that this is my son and that he loved thee with exceeding love and was like to lose his life for longing after thee; so I devised for thee with this device and came to thee with this turband-cloth, which is not thy husband’s, but my son’s.  Now have I won to my wish; so do thou trust in me and I will put a sleight on thy husband for setting thee right with him, and thou wilt be subject to me and to him and to my son."[FN#497] And the wife replied, “’Tis well.  Do so.”  Presently the old woman returned to the lover and said, “Know thou that I have engineered the affair for thee with her; and now we must mend that we have marred.  Hie thee and sit with the Draper and mention to him the turband-cloth, saying, ’The turband I bought of thee I chanced to burn in two places; so I gave it to a certain old woman, to have fine-drawn, and she took it and went away, and I know not her dwelling-place.’[FN#498] When thou seest me pass by, rise and lay hold of me, and demand of me the cloth, to the intent that I may arrange her affair with her spouse and that matters go right with thee in her regard.”  Accordingly he repaired to the Draper’s shop and sat down by him and asked him, “Thou knowest the turband-cloth I bought of thee?” “Yes.”  “Knowest thou what is come of it?” “No.”  “After I bought it of thee, I fumigated myself[FN#499] and it fortuned that the turbandcloth was burnt in two places; so I gave it to a woman, whose son, they said, was a fine-drawer, and she took it and fared forth with it; and I know not her home.”  When the Draper heard this, he was startled by the thought that he had suspected his wife wrongfully, and marvelled at the story of the turband-cloth, and his mind was made easy anent her.  After a short while up came the old woman, whereupon the young man sprang to his feet and seizing her, demanded of her the turband-cloth.  Said she, “Know that I entered one of the houses and wuzu’d and prayed in the prayerplace;[FN#500] and I forgot the turband-cloth there and went out.  Now I weet not the house in which I prayed, nor have I been divinely directed[FN#501] thereto, and I go round about every day till the night,
