"I'm sure you will. Good-night!"
I rolled over beside Dy-lee and composed myself in my furs for the
night. At once a vast comfortable weariness came over me.
"Perhaps," I murmured, "perhaps we shall even discover some day why it

Dy-lee answered me with a soft grunt and then a snore. I laughed to
myself with happiness, and fell asleep in the light of the full tawny
moon.
