When the king in
the company of the police
officer and Hendon went to the
square, Hendon said to the
police officer that he had something to tell him.
And in a low voice said in
the police officer's ear what he had heard in
the dark hall word for word.
The police officer agreed to pretend to be blind, so the king could run away (в этом предлоге не уверена без контекста).
