By this time the others also had got some distance away from me, and I was left pretty much alone. "Now belike one thing of me thou wottest not, to wit, that I have a gift that wild things love and will do my bidding.
Thou wottest that I have sworn by the Raiser of the Heavens that after I have gone in to her this night I shall say to thee on the morrow's morning: Take her and slay her! and, if thou slay her not, I will slay thee in her stead without fail."
