"It is the duty of a leader to provide for his following." "Yes; if the following follows." "We have followed," said Kurzbold indignantly, "and have been led into this desert, not in the least knowing where in Heaven's name we are. And now to be left like this, breakfastless, thirsty " Here Kurzbold's language failed him, and he drew the back of his hand across parched lips.
