SUNMA. Just tell him to go away. Let him go and play somewhere else.

SUNMA. I don’t want him here [Rushes to the window]. Get away idiot. Don’t bring your foolish face here any more, do you hear? Go on, go away from here. …

SUNMA. He comes crawling round here like some horrible insect. I never want to set eyes on him again.

EMAN. I don’t understand. It is Ifada you know. Ifada! The unfortu nate one who runs errands for you and doesn’t hurt a soul.

SUNMA. I cannot bear the sight of him.

EMAN. But he does work. You know he does a lot of work for you.

SUNMA. Does he? And what about the farm you started for him! Does he ever work on it? Or have you forgotten that it was really for Ifada you cleared the brush? Now you have to go and work it yourself. You spend all your time on it and you have no room for anything else.

EMAN. That wasn’t his fault. I should have asked him if he was fond of farming.

SUNMA. Oh, so he can choose? As if he shouldn’t be thankful for being allowed to live.

EMAN. Sunma!
