"He has been my [[slave]] these seven years and more, so his debt to me is paid; but there is amusement to be had in a game of skill, is there not, m'lady? Let us set a wager; if you can know him when you see him, he is yours; if you do not, you...are mine."''

''"I will never forget his face," [[Asjanna]] replied. "Nothing in the wide world could cause me to mistake him for another."''

''"Let us hope you are correct," the sheikh replied courteously (but there was malice in his voice). "He is in the plaza with his fellow-servants. Choose him out and he is yours."''
