This adventure made great noise not only at court and in town, but all over Congo. Epigrams were handed about on it. The discourse of Alcina’s Toy was published, revised, corrected, enlarged and commented by the Agreeables of the court. The Emir was lampoon’d, and his wife immortalized. She was pointed at in the playhouse, and followed in the public walks. People flock’d about her, and she heard them buzzing: “Yes, ’tis she: her Toy made a discourse two hours long.” Alcina bore her new reputation with admirable tranquillity. She listened to these expressions, and many more, with a serenity, which the rest of the women could not show. They were every moment under apprehensions of some indiscretions being committed by their Toys: but the adventure of the following chapter completed their confusion.
