He was very quiet during the journey, and The Rat knew he was thinking all the time. The night before they reached Melzarr, they slept at a town some hours distant from the capital. They arrived at midnight and went to a quiet hotel. "To-morrow," said Marco, when The Rat had left him for the night, "to-morrow, we shall see him! God be thanked!" "God be thanked!" said The Rat, also.
