Thereon Jana did what I had seen it do in my dream or vision at Ragnall, namely, attacked it, knocking it over on to its side, where it lay motionless; quite dead this time.
Now I remembered that the vision was not accurate after all, since in it I had seen Jana destroy a woman and a child, who on the present occasion were wanting.

Since then I have thought that this was because Harut, clairvoyantly or telepathically, had conveyed to me, as indeed Marut declared, a scene which he had witnessed similar to that which I was witnessing, but not identical in its incidents.

Thus it happened, perhaps, that while the act of the woman and the child was omitted, in our case there was another act of the play to follow of which I had received no inkling in my Ragnall experience.

Indeed, if I had received it, I should not have been there that night, for no inducement on earth would have brought me to Kendahland.
This was the act.

Jana, having prodded his dead brother to his satisfaction, whether from viciousness or to put it out of pain, I cannot say, stood over the carcass in an attitude of grief or pious meditation.
