If you are hostile I will imprison you in Khartoum; if you assist me I will reward you far beyond any reward you have ever received.
Should I be killed in this country, you will be suspected.

You know the result: the Government would hang you on the bare suspicion.

On the contrary, if you are friendly I will use my influence in any country that I discover, that you may procure its ivory for the sake of your master, Koorshid, who was generous to Captains Speke and Grant, and kind to me.

Should you be hostile, I shall hold your master responsible as your employer.

Should you assist me, I will befriend you both.
