JOHN BEAL

Again greeting.... The great lady,
Miss Clement, is here.

[HUSSEIN and MIRALDA look at each
other.]

You will pay to Miss Clement and not to
your god of bronze. On the word of an
Englishman, your god of bronze shall not have one gold piece that belongs to the great lady!

HUSSEIN [looking contemptuous]

On the word of the Lord of the Pass, I only pay to Hinnard.

[He stands smiling while MIRALDA
regards him. Exit.]
