Scheherazade and her Khalifa
The Princesse d'Amblise and her Captain mounted their camels to journey from Baghdad through the burning desert sands to the Duche de Coeur Sweethearts' Ball.
Our thanks to Lord and Lady Panacek for a delightful ball!
"Allah upon thee, recite to us some new story, delightsome and delectable,
wherewith to while away the waking hours of our latter night."
"With joy and goodly gree," answered Scheherazade, "if this pious and auspicious King permit me."
"Tell on," quoth the King, who chanced to be sleepless and restless.
So Scheherazade rejoiced, and thus, on the first night of the
Thousand Nights and a Night, she began her recitations.

Smiling...thank you all for your kind comments! It was so much fun!!! The Captain's camel did not want to bring him down the stairs...smiling I wonder why?
