"The first is, that you become the companion of my wanderings for one year and a half from the present time, until the hour of sunset, on the 30th of July, 1517, when we must part forever, you to go whithersoever your inclinations may guide you, and I But of that, no matter!" he added, hastily, with a sudden motion as if of deep mental agony, and with wildly flashing eyes.
