OHANO. And there—is Nijo!
ZAMA. Where, where, child?
OHANO. There—see, he's just coming ashore—oh, Nijo! And look, Zama, look what the people crowding round him have done—look!
ZAMA. What? My poor eyes be yet uncertain. What do they be doing to your lover?
OHANO. They have put upon him the Robe of Flame—to greet him with the highest honor of the island.
ZAMA. So they be. The robe they say the gods themselves did wear when time did first begin. Nijo must come back a great warrior now—a great warrior!
OHANO. Oh, how wonderful to return from the wars like that! Zama, I want to—I must go out into the world and do great things too, like Nijo.
ZAMA. Nijo be coming back, child. That do be enough. Look, what is it that glitters so in the sun?
