Scene Two
The same persons, Zoraya
Zoraya. (Without seeing Zaguir, to Aisha) Who is here with you?
Aisha. Zaguir, who has no right to be here!—but he has a good excuse—since yesterday he has seen men prowling round the house. (She points to the right, Zoraya crosses the scene and goes to the window.)
Zaguir. They have passed the night under the fig trees.
Aisha. (To Zoraya) On the hillside—look! Ah! They are going away—do you see them?
Zoraya. Yes!—They are going down to the bridge. (To Zaguir) Follow them!
Zaguir. As far as the city?
Zoraya. All about the city—and see where they stop.
Zaguir. Yes, mistress!
Zoraya. Go! Go!
Zaguir leaves, running.
