"Madam," said Winthrop, "we await your reply." "How can I make answer thereto?" she said; "for what know I of the private motions of the mind of Sir Christopher?" "At least, you can tell the purpose wherefor you came?" "It was with no evil intent. I had no motive wherefor I need be ashamed before God or man." "Then why hesitate to avow it?"
Then she enquired for the ship and they told her, "The vessel set sail in the first watch of the night"; wherefor she knew that they had taken As'ad with them, and this was grievous to her and she was sore an-angered.
The council which had ruled so long in Allaha was very humble indeed. They had imprisoned the king because he had given many evidences of mental unbalance. Perhaps unwisely they had proclaimed his death. Durga Ram had discovered what they had done and had held it over their heads like a sword blade. That the king was not in his dungeon, why and wherefor, was beyond their knowledge.
On this I asked him wherefor he had denied his saint; nay, for the sake as it would seem of a maid who was, for sure, the worldliest of us all.
