Harding's room after he left us. I didn't think it of sufficient value to forward to him, nor indeed did I know exactly where to send." "Can you show me the diary?" asked Luke, hopefully. "Yes. I have it upstairs in my chamber. Wait five minutes and I will get it for you." A little later a small, black-covered diary was put in Luke's hand.
There was not one left upon the earth who had ever seen me knowing me, and although there went a tale of such a man as I, yet faith had so far vanished from the earth that for a thing to be marvellous, however just, was sufficient reason wherefore no man, to be counted wise, should believe the same.
