Not Such a Fool Bahalul one day, finding no one in the throne room of the sovereign father of the faithful, seated himself on the cushions of the priest-monarch. The guards near were horror stricken at be- holding the jester on the sacred couch of authority, imitating the manners of Haroun himself; just as Chicot, long after, used to mimic those of Henri III.
