| After a moment's hesitation Mason takes the initiative in the matter again. He apologizes submissively to Sister Isabel for his involuntary masquerade and takes Mary to the convent yard. Mules are pasturing there. Mason takes one of them, sets Mary on its back and they go away. |

|
|
| Mason cries to Sister Isabel that Mary is safe with him, she answers his own shadow is in danger with him. And she answers the question of a nun, who has approached, that she does not know who he is, as he did not leave his visiting card. |
|
|
| Mason brings Mary to the beautiful lawn with two tents on it. |
|
|
| Mary cannot believe he managed to do this such quickly, and Mason reminds her that he made a stop to call. |
|
|
| Mason takes Mary to the one of the tents. Mary is dazed and happy because of what he has created for her. |
|
|
| She sees Arabian clothes on the large bed. Mason says it is their "desert clothes". Mary still cannot believe that is happening is real and says it seems to her to be a dream or mirage. Mason confesses he feels that way too. |
|
|
| That night was the night of their love. |
