A scene
The warehouse clerk in Sheba has told the same smooth story four times, and the merchant who hired Yusuf is losing patience. The astrologer sits down across from the clerk, draws the archer's sign on the table with a wet finger, and asks one question only. Where are the forty bales of saffron? The clerk opens his mouth to lie, and the truth falls out instead: sold, in the night, to a ship bound for Tartessos. He clamps a hand over his mouth. Yusuf gets no second question, and needs none.
