"If I do not shoot her, she will certainly betray us." "Then let her betray," said Francisco; "it is written that you shall do no murder." "If you fear to shoot a woman, send for your black dog, White Man," mocked Soa.
Further, the said Soa agrees, on behalf of the said Juanna Rodd, that she, the said Juanna, will accompany her upon the journey, and will play among the said People of the Mist any part that may be required of her as necessary to the success of this undertaking. "IV. It is mutually agreed that these enterprises be prosecuted until the said Leonard Outram is satisfied that they are fruitless.
At this juncture Leonard quietly drew his revolver, though at the time nobody noticed it except Francisco. Indeed by now Juanna was almost as angry as Soa herself. "How dare you speak to me thus?" she said, stamping her foot, "you whom from a child I have thought good and have trusted. What do you say?
She put down her guttering candle on the great oak table of the kitchen, and sank herself upon the settle. "Soa that's him!" she said to herself; and her peasant mind in a dull heat, like that of the peat fire beside her, went wandering back over the hatreds of twenty years.

"I don't know much of cannon," said Leonard doubtfully. "But I know something, White Man," said Soa, speaking for the first time.

So they went to the next shed in all there were four and here at the second man who was sleeping, his head bowed on his chained hands, Soa stopped suddenly like a pointer dog when he scents game. "Peter, Peter," she said. The man awoke he was a fine fellow about thirty years of age and glared round wildly.
So soon as she had possession of the stone, Juanna ran to a little ring of boulders that were scattered on the plain about fifty paces from them, followed by Soa, who carried a bundle in her hand. Ten minutes passed, and Soa appeared from behind the shelter of the stones and beckoned to them. Advancing in obedience to her summons, they saw a curious sight.
