THE SACRIFICE AFTER THE NEW ORDER The third day came, the day of sacrifice after the new order.

Nothing particular had happened in the interval: Leonard and Francisco took some walks through the city, guarded by Peter and the Settlement men; that was all.
They did not see much there, except the exteriors of the houses built of stone and roofed with turves, and the cold stare of curiosity with which they were followed by hundreds of eyes gave them a sense of unrest that effectually checked their efforts at closer examination.

Once indeed they halted in the market-place, which was thronged; whereon all business ceased, and seller, buyer, herdsmen, and presiding priests flocked around staring at them, half in fear and half in curiosity, for they had never seen white men before.

This they could not bear, so they returned to the palace.
Of course Otter and Juanna, being divine, were not allowed to indulge in such recreations.

They were gods and must live up to their reputation.
For one day Otter endured it; on the second, in spite of Leonard's warnings, he sought refuge in the society of the bridge Saga.
