When her sister saw her fold her children to her bosom，saying；''Tis I who have done thus with myself and my children and have ruined my own house！'she saluted her not，but said to her，'O whore，whence haddest thou these children？ Say，hast thou married unbeknown to thy sire or hast thou committed fornication？[157]An thou have played the piece，it behoveth thou be exemplarily punished；and if thou have married sans our knowledge，why didst thou abandon thy husband and separate thy sons from thy sire and bring them hither？'--And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say.
When it was the Eight Hundred and Nineteenth Night； She continued，It hath reached me，O auspicious King，that quoth Nur al-Huda，the Queen，to her sister Manar al-Sana，the Princess，'An thou have married sans our knowledge，why didst thou abandon thy husband and separate thy sons from their sire and bring them to our land？ Thou hast hidden thy children from us.Thinkest thou we know not of this？ Allah Almighty，He who is cognisant of the concealed，hath made known to us thy case and revealed thy condition and bared thy nakedness.'Then she bade her guards seize her and pinion her elbows and shackle her with shackles of iron.So they did as she commanded and she beat her with a grievous beating，so that her skin was torn，and hanged her up by the hair；after which she cast her in prison and wrote the King her father a writ acquainting him with her case and saying，'There hath appeared in our land a man，a mortal，by name Hasan，and our sister Manar al-Sana avoucheth that she is lawfully married to him and bare him two sons，whom she hath hidden from us and thee；nor did she discover aught of herself till there came to us this man and informed us that he wedded her and she tarried with him a long while；after which she took her children and departed，without his knowledge，bidding as she went his mother tell her son，whenas longing began to rack to come to her in the Islands of Wak.So we laid hands on the man and sent the old woman Shawahi to fetch her and her offspring，enjoining her to bring us the children in advance of her.And she did so；whilst Manar al-Sana equipped herself and set out to visit me.
