While the greatest part of the prince's domestics were endeavouring to recover him from his swoon, others of them got about the jeweller, desiring to know what had happened to their lord.

By good fortune the prince came to himself that moment, and those that but just before required his history with so much earnestness retreated to a respectful distance.
