THAT was no time or place for any girl of twenty to be wandering unprotected. Rosemary McClean knew it; the old woman, of the sweeper caste, that is no caste at all, the hag with the flat breasts and wrinkled skin, who followed her dogwise, and was no more protection than a toothless dog, knew it well, and growled about it in incessant undertones that met with neither comment nor response.
At midnight they left her, curled dogwise on a mat in the hall, to sleep; and at dawn, when they came to wake her, she was gone again gone utterly, without a trace or sign of explanation. The doors, both front and back, were locked. "Thank God for that!" said the missionary. "I've finished disbelieving in Joanna!" said his daughter with a grimace that went always with irrevocable decision.
"If we cannot find the same vessel that our host has lost, mayhap we may find another as good. I know a dogwise giant who lives east of the Rivers Elivagar, and who has a strong kettle, fully a mile deep, and large enough to brew ale for all the world." "That is the very kettle we want!" cried Thor. "Think you that we can get it?" "If we are cunning enough, we may," answered Tyr.
