First Questioner: The man you gave to me, O King, said: "No man that knew the counsels of the gods, who alone see future things, would say the gods advised King Hamaran ill when they bade him drink out of a poisoned cup." Then I put the question straightly and he died.
King: The gods! He said it was the gods!... And the other?
Second Questioner: He also said the same, O the King's Majesty.
King: Both said the same. They were questioned in different chambers?
First Questioner: In different chambers, O King. I questioned mine in the Red Chamber.
King (to Second Questioner): And yours?
Second Questioner: In the Chamber of Rats.
King: Begone!
[Exeunt Questioners.
So ... It was the gods.
