CHAPTER XXIV
2/8

Thee is a brave man, and thee has not mocked at me because of my faith.

Thee enemies shall be pursued, and the maid thee loves shall be restored to thee arms." "Alas," said Roland, almost fearing from the impetuosity, as well as confidence, with which Nathan now spoke, that his wits were in a state of distraction, "where shall we look for help, since there are none but ourselves in this desert, of whom to ask it ?" "From our two selves it must come, and from none others," said Nathan, briskly.

"We will follow the murdering thieves that have robbed thee of thee treasure, and we will recover the maid Edith from their hands." "What! unaided?
alone ?" "Alone, friend, with little Peter to be our guide, and Providence our hope and our stay.

Thee is a man of courage, and thee heart will not fail thee, even if thee should find theeself led into the heart of the Injun nation.

I have thought of this thing, friend, and I perceive there is good hope we shall prevail, and prevail better than if we had an hundred men to follow at our backs; unless we had them ready with us, to march this very day.
