"This, that I go down Golden Falls to-morrow, and I do not know how I may come from Sheep-saddle rock to Wolf's Fang crag and keep my life whole in me; and now, I pray thee, weary me not with words, for my brain is slow, and I must use it." When she heard this Saevuna screamed aloud, and threw herself before Eric, praying him to forgo his mad venture.
