Meeting With The Moor

ACT I SCENE I. Tallinn, Turkish Embassy.

..............................Enter a Damsell In Distress.

DAMSELL..............Good day, noble sir.

GATE GUARD.......What be thy business?

DAMSELL..............I came here from the far north, through blizzard and ice on a ghast machine to

seek for thy counselling, noble sir

GATE GUARD We have been feasting since noon, and feasting we are still.

Is thy matter urgent?

DAMSELL..............Nay, I only ask for your counselling, whenever thou are willing to give.

GATE GUARD (Pause) Be thou a scholar?

DAMSELL..............Aye, sir, that I be.

GATE GUARD We have been feasting since noon and we are feasting ever since. Come back

when the hour has past two turns from midday. I shall speak to you then.

DAMSELL..............Thank you, good sir, may the good Lord bless thee.

And that's what happened with my meeting at the gate of the Turkish Embassy.
