They must go, Daoud. See, there is no
one watching. Take them now.

DAOUD

Even so, great master.

[He takes up the largest of the gods with
rust.]

Come, Aho-oomlah, thou shalt not drink
Nideesh.

JOHN BEAL

Was Nideesh to have been sacrificed?

DAOUD

He was to have been drunk by Aho-oomlah.

JOHN BEAL

Nideesh. Who is he?

DAOUD

He is my son.
