Physician

Very well, my child. He may remain if he is a friend of yours.

Madhav [Whispering into Amal's ear]

My child, the King loves you. He is coming himself. Beg for a gift from him. You know our humble circumstances.

Amal

Don't you worry, Uncle. I've made up my mind about it.

Madhav

What is it, my child?

Amal

I shall ask him to make me one of his postmen that I may wander far and wide, delivering his message from door to door.
