Not a very courageous person, our foreign friend.

A Visit Amidst Illness and Beliefs
Nigel Hartley
I happened to be staying in the neighborhood, and hearing of your master's illness I took the liberty of calling. How is he tonight?
Laing
He'll never see the morning.
Nigel Hartley
He has not asked for anyone of my cloth?
Laing
Nor will he. He's set in his ways, and they are the ways of the heathen.
Nigel Hartley
I know he won't see the rector, but though I'm a comparative stranger, I don't like to leave a man to die like that.
Laing
He'll die in his own fashion as he has lived.
Nigel Hartley
Still, sometimes at the end...

Not him! He's stubborn and unbending and will be so at the throne itself!

Passing Conversations in a Nighttime Setting
Nigel Hartley
I'm sorry there should be this sort of atmosphere. After all, we're only ships that pass in the night.
Broughton
Hmmm. Do you want a drink, or will you pass now?
Aga Ben Dragore
Six cups? That's just... just four too many. Eh?
[as Kaney is making tea for the household]
Kaney
Tell me about Egypt. Have you ever seen a shiek?
Aga Ben Dragore
I am one!
[Imperiously folding his arms]
Kaney
What? Thank you. Then how should I address you? Oh - I'm cutting sandwiches for a sheikh! I don't feel quite well.
[Shocked; drops knife; he hands it back]
Aga Ben Dragore
Oh, don't be alarmed. We're not as uncivilised as people think.
Kaney
Oh, don't say that! Do you ride a white stallion?
Aga Ben Dragore
Sometimes.
Kaney
Down the path of the moon! The noble animal plunging and frothing at the nostrils till it founders at your feet, faithful unto death!

Coffee Preparation in the Desert
Aga Ben Dragore
Now I will show you how we make coffee in the desert... by the native stars.
Kaney
You don't make it yourself, do you?
Aga Ben Dragore
No, of course not! A Circassian slave, lovely and thin, cooks it for us, kneeling. And if it is not to our liking...
Kaney
I know! She is stripped to the waist and lashed for miles across the Sahara.
Aga Ben Dragore
Where she is finally eaten by locusts. And rightly. Now; take this canister and do exactly as I tell you.
Kaney
And if I fail?
Aga Ben Dragore
The Yorkshire moors are just behind us!

Fear and Threats in the Dark
Prof. Morlant
You're afraid of me!
Laing
I'm afraid FOR you.

If this should leave me, you'll have reason to fear... for when the full moon strikes the door of my tomb, I will come back. You hear? I will come back to kill!
[Referring to the jewel]
