I see now, said Good, and I suppose they wound the thing up with awindlass. Now, my friends, as you may guess, this was a blow indeed.
Fromthat moment I became as ruthless as Hans himself. Yes, Lord, she answered, since if it broke all this side of theisland would be flooded. The lake might come over the crest of the wall, I suggested. Meanwhile, she went on, for the present you are safe. Hans, you are a fool as well as a brute, for, silly as you may be,how could I get on without you?
The priests go also and leave the bridealone.
I ate as much as I was able, because food gives strength, and Hans didthe same. I think there will be a flood after this, Baas, remarked Hans. That is quite a good plan, especially as itwill save us trouble with her afterwards.
Had it not beenfor that gift I should have been dead long ago. As it happened there was a good deal to examine.
So we went away, but I, lingering behind, examined the hole and thepin very carefully. Then I asked her to tell me exactly what was going tohappen as to the delivery of the Holy Bride.
My father, I presume, Hans, I replied airily.
Now I sat still, not knowing what to say, for I had overlooked thismatter of the key.
Yes, Lord, she answered, since if it broke all this side of theisland would be flooded.
What are you laughing at, you little donkey?
As it happened there was a good deal to examine. Only how are we to make these slow matches?
Fromthat moment I became as ruthless as Hans himself.

I think alsothat I am to be sacrificed with you. This I did for her own sake, a factthat I did not explain. Outwardlyshe showed no signs of injury, for her long white robe was unstained. When we had finished our food we packed up our small belongings in themost convenient way we could. A little later food was brought to us by one of the serving priests.
Is it a timeto laugh when all our plans have come to nothing? Thats what he said, but the fact was that he had been fast asleephimself.
While I did so I heard Hans chuckling idiotically.
