Carlyon.

You've had time to think. Is it to be the world or me?

Vera.

[Turning and coming down to meet him.] I see it all clearly now, father, and I won't be afraid any more.

END OF THE THIRD ACT.


THE FOURTH ACT

In front of a Bungalow in the Ghautgherry Hills; the Bungalow with its veranda occupies the left half of the stage; the rest is Compound, with thick trees at the right. A door in the centre of the veranda leads into the house; another, at the left, leads to Adene's sick-room. In front, to the right, Adene is reclining in a long Singapore chair with cushions. Just above him a table, covered with Bhojâlee curiosities which have just been taken from a box. At the table is Rheinhardt seated, looking at the objects. Behind is Selim, an old native with one arm, dusting the veranda with a feather mop.

Adene has a Bhojâlee belt in his hands, with empty sheath; Rheinhardt has the knife, and is examining it closely.
