You will return at the end of one year, and as soon as you have become a Mussulman my daughter shall be your wife.

You will find a house ready furnished, slaves of your own, and an income which will enable you to live in comfort.

I have no more to say at present.

I do not wish you to answer me either to-day, or to-morrow, or on any fixed day.

You will give me your decision whenever you feel yourself called upon by your genius to give it, and you need not give me any answer unless you accept my offer, for, should you refuse it, it is not necessary that the subject should be again mentioned.
