I begged him to put it on his head because it fidgeted me, and then inquired where we were.
"In the Town of the Child, Baas, where they carried you after you had seemed to die down yonder.

A very nice town, where there is plenty to eat, though, having been asleep for three days, you have had nothing except a little milk and soup, which was poured down your throat with a spoon whenever you seemed to half wake up for a while." "I was tired and wanted a long rest, Hans, and now I feel hungry.

Tell me, are the lord and Bena here also, or were they killed after all ?" "Yes, Baas, they are safe enough, and so are all our goods.

They were both with Harut when he saved us down by the village yonder, but you went to sleep and did not see them.

They have been nursing you ever since, Baas." Just then Savage himself entered, carrying some soup upon a wooden tray and looking almost as smart as he used to do at Ragnall Castle.
"Good day, sir," he said in his best professional manner.
