Chr. I knew you would, but still I came to explain at once.
I sought for you in your garden in vain; and coming out,
Intending to go to your house, just as I opened the gate,
Just here, I met two foreigners strangely dressed.
Men.In white?
Chr. You saw them?
Men.A moment ago. Who are they?
Chr.The elder one
Addressed me in Persian.
Men.In Persian, did he? What did he say?
