It would clearly have to be a simultaneous marriage to both of them; once he was married to one of them, the other would never accept second place.The...harem clothing, he decided, could just be imposed on them after the ceremony, which would be brief and very informal. If the Emir announced that two people were married, well the Emir's word was law in Kobekistan and the paperwork could be done separately by the Head of Protocol. Yes, that was the answer, he would marry them by decree in the. ‘I owe my career to you. I never thought I was any good, until that night when you said, well, what you said.’ ‘Oh?’ She seemed nervous. He suspected he knew why, neither of them had mentioned that night at all yesterday.

One. Cheng arrived, and Mr. Cheng waited for a gap in the girls to shake my hand. While shaking my hand he looked at me carefully, then spoke Chinese to Lily, who translated his question, "Father ask you not tired?"I answered Lily, "No, sir.

Then the defence would make any submission they wished in rebuttal.

The judge might also ask for clarification of anything he felt to be unclear. Finally the judge would give a ruling, and that would be subject to confirmation by the Emir."Confirmation by the Emir?" Sharon was.
