A knock from the guide produced sudden silence. Another knock drew from those within an exclamation of surprise, and next moment the heavy door swung open on creaking hinges. "Yes, it is Ravoninohitriniony! I knew his knock. He is come!" exclaimed a girlish voice, as a pair of arms were seen dimly to encircle the guide's neck.
Still more were he and his awakened comrades horrified when the names of Ravoninohitriniony and Voalavo were sternly called out. Both men promptly stood up. "At last!" said the former, quietly, and without a trace of excitement. "Well, I am glad, for it is the Lord's will. Farewell, my friends," he added, looking back as he was led away, "we shall all meet again in great joy farewell!"
"Still, I feel sure that they will escape," continued the girl, "Ravoninohitriniony has such a firm trust in God, and he is so strong and brave and wise. Besides, he has the blood of the white man in his veins he will succeed or die!" This compliment to her brother, whether deserved or not, had the effect of raising a flush of pleasure on Ra-Ruth's little face.
The bard looked at him earnestly for a few seconds, then, grasped him by the wrist as with a grip of iron. "Ravoninohitriniony," he said, fiercely, "my little one is dead! She is gone! They took her a mere child they tortured her, but she would not yield. Hear what I say. You knew her well the soft one; the tender one, who was always so pliable, so unselfish, so easily led, she would not yield!
Among them was a group in which the reader is perhaps interested. It consisted of Mark Breezy, John Hockins, Ebony Ginger, Samuel Ravoninohitriniony, Laihova, and Voalavo.
There was a rustling in the bushes, and next moment, Laihova, springing out, clasped Ra-Ruth in his arms. "Thank God," he said, in deep earnest tones, as he released her. "I am not too late!" "Brother," said Ramatoa, anxiously, laying a hand on the man's arm, "are you alone?" "Yes. Have not Ravoninohitriniony and Rafaravavy arrived?" "No. And and what of Mamba?" asked Ramatoa.
You have heard of the arrival of the Englishmen?" "Yes, uncle." "Well, I have reason to believe that they have been led hither by that son of a thunderbolt, Ravoninohitriniony, and that he is even now in hiding in the neighbourhood. At the gate you will find one of our spies, who will conduct you to the cavern in which he lies concealed.
Of course I could have him seized at once if I chose, but I have a deeper game to play, and want to make Ravoninohitriniony an unwitting instrument. It seems that more of the people in the palace are Christians than I knew of.
