Indeed by now Juanna was almost as angry as Soa herself.
"How dare you speak to me thus ?" she said, stamping her foot, "you whom from a child I have thought good and have trusted.

That I must give him who saved me from death over to death, in order that I may buy back your love and protect myself.

You evil woman, I tell you that first I will die as I would have died yonder in the slave camp," and she ceased, for her indignation was too great to allow her to say more.
"So be it, Shepherdess," said Soa solemnly, "I hear you.

It was to be expected that you would prefer him whom you love to her who loves you.
Yet, Shepherdess, was it not I after all who saved you yonder in the slave camp?
Doubtless I dream, but it seems to me that when those men who are dead deserted you, running this way and that in their fear--and, Shepherdess, it is for this that I am glad they are dead, and lifted no hand to save them--I followed you alone.
