turban, and put on a night-cap that had been ordered for Hump-back, and so went to bed in his shirt and drawers[Footnote:  All the eastern nations lie in their drawers; but this circumstance will serve Bedreddin in the sequel.]; the latter were of blue satin, tied with a lace of gold.  Whilst the two lovers were asleep, the genius, who had met again with the fairy, says to him, That it was high time to finish what was begun, and hitherto so successfully carried on; then let us not be overtaken by day-light, which will soon appear; go you, and bring off the young man again without awaking him.  The fairy went into the bed-chamber where the two lovers were fast asleep, and took up Bedreddin just as he was, that is to say, in his shirt and drawers, and, in company with the genius, with a wonderful swiftness flew away with him to the gates of Damascus in Syria, where they arrived when the officer of the mosques, appointed for that end, was calling the people to come to prayers at break of day.  The fairy laid Bedreddin softly on the ground, and, leaving him close by the gate, departed with the genius.  The gate of the city being opened, and a great many people assembled to get out, they were mightily surprised to see Bedreddin lying in his shirt and drawers upon the ground.  One said, He has been so hard put to it to get away from his mistress, that he had not time to put on his clothes.  Look ye, says another, how people expose themselves; sure enough he has spent the most part of the night in drinking with his friends, till he has got drunk, and then perhaps, having occasion to go out, instead of returning, is come this length, and, not having his senses about him, was overtaken with sleep.  Others were of different opinions; but nobody could guess the occasion of his being there.  A small puff of wind happening to blow at the time, uncovered his breast, which was whiter than snow.  Every one, being struck with admiration at the fineness of his complexion, spoke so loud as to awake him.  His surprise was as great as theirs, when he found himself at the gate of a city where he had never been before, and encompassed by a crowd of people gazing at him.  Gentlemen, said he, for God’s sake tell me where I am, and what you would have of me.  One of the crowd said to him, Young man, the gates of the city were just now opened, and, as we came out, we found you lying here in this condition, and stood to look on you:  Have you lain here all night? and do you not know that you are at one of the gates of Damascus?  At one of the gates of Damascus! answered Bedreddin; sure you mock me:  When I lay down to sleep last night, I was at Cairo.  When he said these words, some of the people, moved with compassion for him, said, It is a pity such a handsome young man should have lost his senses; and so went away.  My son, says an old gentleman to him, you know not what you say:  How is it possible that you, being this morning at Damascus, could be last night at Cairo?  It is true for all that,
