Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Man at Lop : Be careful, my lord. One drop will poison an army.

  Tegana : I will use it wisely, on all but the first of Marco Polo's water gourds. For tomorrow, the caravan sets out to cross the Gobi Desert. Now you will follow us, and on the third night I will walk back to you. Then we're going to ride back here to Lop, wait for two days, and then return to the caravan to collect the thing of magic that will bring the mighty Kublai Khan to his knees.

• Marco Polo : Listen, the carriage they travel in has no wheels! It just stands there, like a warlord's tomb on one end. And another thing... it is not large enough to carry four people.

  Tegana : It must be!

  Marco Polo : I say it is not, and yet I saw all four walk from it. Upon my sword, I swear it to you!
