A crowd of villagers (youth and drummers) excitedly come to tell Sidi the news about her picture being on the front page of the magazine and how beautiful she looked, 'You looked as if the sun himself had been your lover'. The Bale becomes jealous as his picture is small and placed in a corner somewhere inside the magazine. Sidi takes this to mean thst she is more important than the Bale and so sees Lankule as not worthy of her as a wife.
