are you that eager to go ask? Tell Yaser. Only then did Rebecca see that Abraham Steward was inside the pen using a wooden comb toe work something out of the hair on a camel's flank. In fact, I am said Rebecca. But no, I didn't think of leaving tonight. They let you leave the feast. It's your farewell, isn't it? I thought it was your welcome. Ellie. Yaser laughed. The silence between them soon weighed too much to bear. I hope you know that. I didn't accept your proposal because of the jewelry. There would be nothing shameful. If you had said only Caesar. My master's wealth and reputation will mean your Children will grow up with every protection, every opportunity. Rebecca understood this. I just wanted you to know my eyes were not dazzled. So if it wasn't the jewelry, what was it? I wasn't a bad looking man in my youth, but age has done its work on my face. So I know it wasn't my beauty. Just a zai. No, it wasn't mine. L Yaser laughed again. I hope that doesn't bother you that you weren't chosen for your beauty. You could have been. Of course, I wasn't asking for flattery. You weren't getting any. The choice was God's to make unless he left it to me.
