3
Q
Whither are you bound?

To Ethiopia.
4
Q
The very place we wish to go. Here are three of us. Can we get a passage with you?
A
You can. I shall be pleased with your company. You have King Solomon’s pass, I presume.
5
Q
King Solomon’s pass? No, we came away in a hurry and on urgent business and must go. We did not suppose a pass would be necessary. We have plenty of money and will pay you any price you ask.
A
There is an embargo laid upon all the shipping and if you have not King Solomon’s pass you can not get a passage with me, neither can you from this port.
6
Q
Well, I suppose we will have to go back and get a pass.
A
The sooner the better. You are suspicious looking characters.
