Tarlac hadn't realized until that moment, when he relaxed, how tense he had been. "Let's get back so I can finish the Ordeal, then." Yarra was waiting for them, standing as before at the head of the clanhome stairs. Tarlac climbed to meet her, Hovan at his right. He'd been gone less than a tenth-year, so she wasn't there to extend the traveler's greeting, and she didn't.
Steve, the human Ranger who had become a Cor'naya in hopes of helping both races, fearing but accepting death for that goal yes, Steve deserved to complete the Circle of Lords if anyone did. Yarra and Daria had returned for the Transformation.
A little later Fawkner arrived with further settlers and with a wooden house, which he soon erected by the banks of the Yarra, the first regularly built house of Melbourne. He placed it by the side of the densely wooded stream, which was afterwards turned into Elizabeth Street.
There Yarra gave him drink, and, having made him a comfortable bed, left him with a revolver by his side, and returned for Wallaroo and Ryder's belongings. The boy followed the instructions he had received faithfully, and was with the outlaw again before sundown, watching over him with an interest he had never before felt in any human creature.

Now I could run down any man in arguin', except a priest; and if the Bishop was after consecratin' me, I'd have as much larnin' as some of them; but you see I'm not consecrated and well, 'tis no matther I only say that the more's the pity." "Well, Thady, when did you go into subtraction?" "The day beyond yesterday, sir; yarra musha, sure 'twas yourself, sir, that shet me the first sum."
Passengers by ocean-going vessels to Melbourne land either at Sandridge or Williamstown, small shipping towns situated on either side of the river Yarra, which is only navigable by the smaller craft. A quarter of an hour in the train brings the visitor into the heart of the city.

'My word, mine know him all right, he said. 'Yarra always good friend by me? 'My word! The climb over the spur that divided the outlaw's first retreat from the gorge proved a terrible task for the wounded man.
At the time he spoke, twenty-two years ago from this present year 1858, the Yarra rolled its clear waters to the sea through the unbroken solitude of a primeval forest, as yet unseen by the eye of a white man.
