MERCHANT. Ali Cogia told me it contained olives at the first. I will take oath that what I say is the truth.
CAUZEE. We are not yet ready for your oath.
[ALI COGIA enters. He pretends to set a jar before the Cauzee.]
CAUZEE. Ali Cogia, is this jar the same you left with the Merchant?
ALI COGIA. Sir, it is the same.
CAUZEE. Merchant, do you confess this jar to be the same?
MERCHANT. Sir, it is the same.
CAUZEE. Officer, remove the cover.
(The Officer pretends to remove the cover.)
These are fine olives! Let me taste them.
