Daoud, for the present these gods must stay. Aho-oomlah's gone, but the rest must stay for the present.
DAOUD
Even so, great master.
JOHN BEAL
Daoud, go once more to the palace of the Lord of the Pass and beat the outer door. Say that the great lady herself would see him. The great lady, Miss Clement, the white traveller's heiress.
DAOUD
Yes, master.
