Traveling on those paths we made our way criss crossingly to the west. The walking was no more difficult than on the ground, for the boards were firmly secured to the great branches, which were at least five or six feet wide, and there were short rails as well. TRAVELLING ON THOSE PATHS WE MADE OUR WAY CRISS CROSSINGLY TO THE WEST THE WALKING WAS NO MORE DIFFICULT THAN ON THE GROUND FOR THE BOARDS WERE FIRMLY SECURED TO THE GREAT BRANCHES WHICH WERE AT LEAST FIVE OR SIX FEET WIDE AND THERE WERE SHORT RAILS AS WELL

They conversed for awhile, though I could not hear them, nor could I see them well enough to judge their facial expressions, but Bernibus waylaid any anxious thoughts I had with his encouraging tone, and also by giving me a drought of ale and a loaf of bread to overcome my fatigue and hunger, both of which I quickly consumed.

Wagner returned from the guards and, finding that we were ready to proceed, led us to the far corner of the platform, where we were joined by Taurus. We then set off on a road that ran above the lower levels of the canopy, made from jointed platforms that were attached to the massive limbs of the trees, meeting the branches of the next tree half way across, forming a continuous, snaking path far above the ground.
