[The Rulers of the Lakes by Joseph A. Altsheler]@TWC D-Link bookThe Rulers of the Lakes CHAPTER XI 28/42
Be sure that you wait on me well.
It is the first rest that I have had in a long time, and it is my purpose to enjoy it.
If I should be fretful, humor me; if I should be hungry, feed me; if I should be sleepy, let me sleep, and see that I am not disturbed while I do sleep; if my bed is hard, make me a better, and through it all, O Dagaeoga, be thou the finest medicine man that ever breathed in these woods." "Come, now, Tayoga, you lay too great a burden upon me.
I'm not all the excellencies melted into one, and I've never pretended to be.
But I can see that you're getting well, because the spirit of rulership is upon you as strong as ever, and, since you're so much improved, I may take it into my mind to obey your commands, though only when I feel like it." The two lads looked at each other and laughed, and there was immense relief in Robert's laugh.
