 There seemed something sinister1, hollow, heartless, about Abrazza, and that green-and-yellow, evil-starred crown that he wore.
 
But why think of that? Though we like not something in the curve of one's brow, or distrust the tone of his voice; yet, let us away with suspicions if we may, and make a jolly comrade of him, in the name of the gods. Miserable2! thrice miserable he, who is forever turning over and over one's character in his mind, and weighing by nice avoirdupois, the pros3 and the cons4 of his goodness and badness. For we are all good and bad. Give me the heart that's huge as all Asia; and unless a man, be a villain5 outright6, account him one of the best tempered blades in the world.
 
That night, in his right regal hall, King Abrazza received us. And in merry good time a fine supper was spread.
 
Now, in thus nocturnally regaling us, our host was warranted by many ancient and illustrious examples.
 
For old Jove gave suppers; the god Woden gave suppers; the Hindoo deity7 Brahma gave suppers; the Red Man's Great Spirit gave suppers:— chiefly venison and game.
 
And many distinguished8 mortals besides.
 
Ahasuerus gave suppers; Xerxes gave suppers; Montezuma gave suppers; Powhattan gave suppers; the Jews' Passovers were suppers; the Pharaohs gave suppers; Julius Caesar gave suppers:—and rare ones they were; Great Pompey gave suppers; Nabob Crassus gave suppers; and Heliogabalus, surnamed the Gobbler, gave suppers.
 
It was a common saying of old, that King Pluto9 gave suppers; some say he is giving them still. If so, he is keeping tip-top company, old Pluto:—Emperors and Czars; Great Moguls and Great Khans; Grand Lamas and Grand Dukes; Prince Regents and Queen Dowagers:—Tamerlane hob-a- nobbing with Bonaparte; Antiochus with Solyman the Magnificent; Pisistratus pledging Pilate; Semiramis eating bon-bons with
