Scene XII
Aziz-Bey. Do you think it wise that the newcomer should see me with you?
Sekiné-Khanoun. Do people know who you are? Probably you will be taken for one of my family. [Aga-Kerim enters the room. Sekiné-Khanoun veils herself.]
Scene XIII
Aga-Kerim. Good-day to you both.
Aziz-Bey. Good-day, sir. Be seated, if you please; you are welcome.
Aga-Kerim [seating himself and turning to Aziz-Bey.] My young master, kindly tell me your name.
Aziz-Bey. My name is Aziz-Bey.
Aga-Kerim. It is a fortunate name. But Aziz-Bey, may I speak to you on a certain matter in the presence of Sekiné-Khanoun?
Aziz-Bey. You may address your remarks directly to Sekiné-Khanoun. Do not think that she is frivolous like other young ladies; she delights in conversation, and will not be at all bashful in answering your questions.
