Yes, when the moon rose from that cloud I believed it, and look, they are still quite close together.

Hark, what is that ?" I listened, and caught the sound of a horse's hoofs stumbling among the rocks.
"Don't be frightened," I answered; "it is only Hans with my horse.
He escaped also; I will tell you how afterwards." And as I spoke he appeared, a woebegone and exhausted object.
"Good day, missie," he said with an attempt at cheerfulness.

"Now you should give me a fine dinner, for you see I have brought the baas back safe to you.

Did I not tell you, baas, that everything would come right ?" Then he grew silent from exhaustion.

Nor were we sorry, who at that moment did not wish to listen to the poor fellow's talk.
Something over two hours had gone by since the moon broke out from the clouds.
