Soa would tell the truth to the priests, who, even if they were inclined to desert her father in his extremity, must strike for their own sakes and for that of their order, which was the most powerful among the People of the Mist, and had no desire to be placed under the yoke of secular authority.
But his moral equilibrium was beginning to return, in virtue of a certain resolution, the one thing which now stood between him and the black gulf of the night. He ate his porridge and then he got up. 'I mun goo, Margaret. He would fain have thanked her, but the words choked in his throat. 'Ay, soa yo mun, Davy, said the little body briskly.
In the centre of this fodder whether placed there in obedience to some religious tradition or by way of ornament, or perhaps to assist the digestive process of the god, as a tenpenny nail is said to assist that of an ostrich was a fine ruby stone; not so big, indeed, as that which Soa had given to Leonard, but still of considerable size and value.
Juanna heard and from that moment made up her mind that whatever happened she had done with Soa. Nor was this wonderful, for few women could have pardoned what she had suffered at her hands. "Drive the spear into her till she speaks, comrade," said Olfan. Then at the touch of steel Soa gave up mocking and told the secret of the door.
"You cannot unless I go too," he answered smiling. "You are wrong there," Juanna replied defiantly. "I can, and what is more, I will, and Soa shall guide me. It is you who cannot go without me that is, if Soa tells the truth. "For good or evil we are yoked together in this matter, Mr. Outram, so it is useless for us to try to pull different ways.

We have no words, no symbols even, for those essential sounds of fright and agony. They filled the hall, the library, the reception-room, the distant kitchen even, and basement with a kind of vibrant terror.
Presently Soa advanced from the shadows at the foot of the colossus, and escorted by two priests took her stand in the centre of the semicircle of judges. "Speak, woman," said Nam. Then Soa spoke. "I am of the People of the Mist," she said, "as ye may know by looking on me and hearing me.
"Who called me by my old name?" he said hoarsely. "Nay, I dream, Peter is dead." "Peter," said the woman again, "awake, child of Mavoom; it is I, Soa, who am come to save you." The man cried aloud and began to tremble, but the other slaves took no notice, thinking only that he had been smitten with a scourge. "Be silent," said Soa again, "or we are lost.
Theer's a mermaid lives in 't a woman, I tell tha, wi' a fish's tail it's in a book, an he read it out, soa theer an on Easter Eve neet she cooms out, and walks about t' Scout, combin her hair an if onybody sees her an wishes for soomthin, they get it, sartin sure; an 'Mermaids is just faddle an nonsense, interrupted David, tersely. 'Oh, is they? Then I spose books is faddle.
When Soa departed she had left a fragment of dip made of goat-fat burning upon the floor, but very soon this expired, leaving them in darkness. Now, however, light began to flow into the dungeon through the slit in the rock, and it seemed to Leonard that the character of this light was clearer than that to which they had been accustomed in this gloomy land.
