Thus we became well acquainted to such an extent that we looked forward with regret to the day when they took their places among their new comrades and we should be forced to continue upon our way alone.

"They are no longer my people," he replied proudly. "Last night, in the very middle of the night, the call came to me. Like that it came into my head" and he struck his hands together smartly once "that I had risen. I have been waiting for it and expecting it for a long time; today I am a Krolu. When these things are done, I can go to the chief of the Kro-lu, and he dare not refuse me.
To speak always of a beautiful young girl as a "she" may be literal; but it seems far from gallant. The Kro-lu concentrated his steady, level gaze upon me for at least a full minute.
