A captain of warriors will know what signs to watch for in a man's face well enough, and slowly and at last I saw the look for which I waited steal across the face of the man before me, and then I raised my hand and said: "Be still, and answer me." The song stopped, and the lifted sickle sank with the hand that held it, and the eyes of Morfed left mine and sought the ground.
"What will you ?" he said.

"Let me go, for it is time." "When you have answered," I said sternly.

"Tell me, where is Owen ?" "In yonder pool," he said, as a child will answer its teacher.
But if he answered as a child, his face was sullen as of a child that is minded to rebel, and I knew that he would try not to tell me aught.
"You lie," I said coldly.

"Neither Christian priest nor Druid would dare set a prince of Cornwall in an unhallowed grave.

Tell me the truth." "Ay, I lied," he said, speaking in a strange voice that seemed to come from him against his will.
