Oh, let me take his word for it be ruled by him in this one thing, once! She bowed her face on her knees again. It seemed to her that she had thrown herself at Elsmere's feet, that her cheek was pressed against that young brown hand of his. How long the moment lasted she never knew. When at last she rose stiff and weary, darkness was overtaking even the lingering northern twilight.

Thus the aggageers had secured one, in addition to Fiorian's elephant that had been slashed by Jali.
