Nay, we march on to fulfil our destinies." At these words Oros showed neither curiosity nor surprise; it was as though I told him only what he knew.
"Good," he replied, smiling, and with a courteous bow of his shaven head, "within an hour you shall march on--to fulfil your destinies.

"Leo Vincey," I said.
"Leo Vincey, yes, Leo Vincey," he repeated, as though the name were familiar to him but had slipped his mind.

"But you have not answered my question.

Is it needful that I should repeat the warning ?" "Not in the least; but you can do so if you wish when he awakes." "Nay, I think with you, that it would be but waste of words, for--forgive the comparison;--what the wolf dares"-- and he looked at me--"the tiger does not flee from," and he nodded towards Leo.
