I could not turn back, I must go on.

Had I returned, of what avail?
What could I do but say what I say here, that my hand killed Foorgat Bey; that I had not meant to kill him, though at the moment I struck I took no heed whether he lived or died.

Since you know of my sorrowful deed, you also know why Foorgat Bey was struck down.

When, as I left the bank of the Nile, your words blinded my eyes, my mind said in its misery: 'Now, I see!' The curtains fell away from between you and me, and I saw all that you had done for vengeance and revenge.

You knew all on that night when you sought your life of me and the way back to Kaid's forgiveness.
