AGMAR They went to Marma! THIEF Yes, three days ago. OOGNO We are lost. AGMAR They went three days ago? THIEF Yes, on dromedaries. AGMAR They should be back to-day. OOGNO We are lost. THAHN We are lost. THIEF They must have seen the green jade idols sitting against the mountains. They will say, 'The gods are still at Marma.' And we shall be burnt. SLAG My Master will yet devise a plan. AGMAR (to the Thief) Slip away to some high place and look towards the desert and see how long we have to devise a plan. (Exit Thief.) SLAG My Master will devise a plan. OOGNO He has taken us into a trap. |
