TAMARISK
That bed…

HASSAN That bed is not a chest. But doubtless it also contains fresh linen marked with my name.

TAMARISK
(Tremulous) That bed contains a most beautiful lady.

HASSAN
(Jumping) What?

TAMARISK
A most beautiful lady. She said she must see you, and gave me ten dinars.

YASMIN
(As HASSAN tears aside the curtains of the bed) Hassan!
(She is dressed in a cloak and veiled.)

HASSAN
What voice?

YASMIN
Hassan. (She unveils.)

HASSAN
Thou!

YASMIN
I came: I hid: I waited.
