"Lady Elliot, for how long will the stars hesitate, waiting for the
right moment to rain from the heavens?" asked the Count, gazing upon
Lady Elliot with deep fascination.
Layla stirred her Turkish coffee and said,
"My dear Count, at any moment..." and then she stopped as loud voices
rose up from the streets below.
The Count moved quickly to the balcony, swung open the doors, and
surveyed the crowded nightime street below. Above the background din
he turned and announced to his guests-
" It appears we have yet another austerity riot, do not be alarmed by
the burning effigies."

Astira checked the scene for one second & then scrambled for cover
behind a large pallet of shipping crates. Her heart raced.
