It was not long before I fell asleep, while walking, and wandered out of the road.

I was awakened by a bunch of moss which hung down from the limb of a tree and met my face.

I looked up and saw, as I thought, a large man standing just before me.

My first idea was that some one had struck me over the face, and that I had been at last overtaken by Huckstep.

Rubbing my eyes once more, I saw the figure before me sink down upon its hands and knees.
