Azariah, my friend, you know that my father has been counting the days it should take us to go to Rages and back, and if we are even one day late, he will be worried sick. You heard how Raguel has made a solemn promise that I must stay, and I don't want to make him break his promise. So take four servants and two camels and go to the town of Rages and find Gabael. Give him my father's half of the agreement, then get the silver coins, and bring Gabael back with you to the wedding celebration.
