THE POST OFFICE
Physician
Will you feel well enough to leave your bed with the King when he comes in the middle watches of the night?
Amal
Of course, I'm dying to be about for ever so long. I'll ask the King to find me the polar star. I must have seen it often, but I don't know exactly which it is.
Physician
He will tell you everything. [To Madhav] Will you go about and arrange flowers through the room for the King's visit? [Indicating the Headman] We can't have that person in here.
Amal
No, let him be, Doctor. He is a friend. It was he who brought me the King's letter.
