Act three, scene three

Pa Ajani is under a tree in his frontage. Moromoke is Pa Ajani's sororal niece. The patriach didn't notice she served his meal. He's been pondering for hours, the knack which is peculiar to him alone.

After a while, he ate a part of the food and called on wife afterwards. Madam Ajani walked out of the room, dressed in colourful Adire clothing. As a mistress in the art, she flaunts a wide range of the material. She picks a seat on a wooden cushion. Optimistically, she questions:

MADAM AJANI: But, Baba Toba..... Why have you refused to eat your food?

PA AJANI: I have eaten, woman. Call on Moromoke to pack up the remains.

MADAM AJANI: (Calls out) Moromoke! Moromoke!! Moromoke!!!

MOROMOKE: Ma, I am here.

MADAM AJANI: Take this food back to the quarters.

MOROMOKE: Ok, Ma. (She Leaves)

PA AJANI: I need your opinion on something.

MADAM AJANI: Opinion?

PA AJANI: Yes.

MADAM AJANI: Fill me in.

PA AJANI: Are nobles born to take advantage of their subjects?
