"To-morrow evening," she replied.

"There will be a full meeting of the Council.

The terms will be read.

Then you shall decide." "What am I to decide ?" "Whether you will accept the post of spokesman--whether you will be the ambassador who shall approach the Government." "But they may not elect me," he objected.
"They will," she replied confidently.
