Occasionally traders coming through Silver City tell stories about him.

"What do your seers and traders tell you about Elahwa?"

"You wait," the trader told the driver after they got out.

And the trader told his tale in a stammering rush of tears.

The traders are telling us they'll come in on the new ones at 8.05, but we think they're playing games with us.

An anonymous trader has also told Reuters that the sale could be "tricky".

"The trader told us where to find you," she informed him.

Why didn't you tell the traders and grog-sellers to go years ago?

But then the Italian trader told me why he thought it would work.

"I tend to believe the trader told the truth."
