Agmar:
More than you think suspected us, but have any dared to
say so?

Thief:
No, master.

Agmar:
Then forget your fears, my thief.

Thief:
Two men went on dromedaries three days ago to see if
the gods were still at Marma.

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:
Then 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 toward the desert
and see how long we have to devise a plan.
