Halima—Free!
Sindibad—A strong mehari is below, and my men are waiting.
Halima—I am afraid.
Sindibad—By the hand of the Prophet, it was written thou shouldst love me, and I thee.
Halima—His wrath—
Sindibad—Thou art not bound to him by any law.
Halima—He loves me not, and yet—
Sindibad—Come to the golden desert, and thou shalt learn the many ways of love.
Halima—He took me to seal a bargain with my father. But thou, thou wilt soon tire of me. He said thou lovest any woman.
