"We make terms.
If the person to be poisoned is an enemy of ours, well and good; you shall have it and we shall be gainers.

But Allah forbid that we should hasten the death of a friend! Is it for Jael Higg ?" "No, for I see that to poison her would be to incur the enmity of Jimgrim.

Already he takes counsel with her; did he and she not lay their heads together in your presence after morning prayers ?" "For whom, then?
For Jimgrim ?" "God forbid! Shall I woo a dead man?
Nay! You say you will give me the poison if I tell?
You swear it?
Then it is for the Lion of Petra.

Thus I shall win the love of Jimgrim.

And Jael, being without a man, will run away to Egypt, where her money is." _"Bismillah!"_ swore the Sikh.
