Then they enquired for the house of the second Kazi and presenting themselves before him，told him the same tale.On like wise did the twain，mistress and maid with the third and the fourth，till Zayn al-Mawasif had made her complaint to all the four Kazis，each of whom fell in love with her and besought her to wed him，to which she consented with a'Yes'；nor wist any one of the four that which had happened to the others.All this passed without the knowledge of the Jew，who spent the night in the house of the bridefeast.And when morning morrowed，Hubub arose and gat ready her lady's richest raiment；then she clad her therewith and presented herself with her before the four Kazis in the court of justice.As soon as she entered，she veiled her face and saluted the judges，who returned her salam and each and every of them recognised her.One was writing，and the reed-pen dropped from his hand，another was talking，and his tongue became tied；and a third was reckoning and blundered in his reckoning；and they said to her，'O admirable of attributes and singular among beauties！ be not thy heart other than hearty，for we will assuredly do thee justice and bring thee to thy desire.'So she called down blessings on them and farewelled them and went her ways.--And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say.
