Alec.
I won't hide from you that it means almost certain death. But there's no other way of saving ourselves. On the other hand, if you show perfect courage at the moment the Arabs attack and the Turkana find that we've given them the slip, you may escape. If you do, I promise nothing shall be said of all that has happened here.
George.
All right. I'll do that. And I thank you with all my heart for giving me the chance.
Alec.
I'm glad you've accepted. Whatever happens you'll have done a brave action in your life. [He holds out his hand to George, who takes it.] I think there's nothing more to be said. You must be ready to start in half an hour. Here's your revolver. Remember that one chamber's empty. You'd better put in another cartridge.
George.
Yes, I'll do that.
[He goes out.
Dick.
