"I do not understand what you mean," I said. "Of course not, I am forgetting your new arrival has left you unacquainted with affairs that I am faced with everyday. Let me explain: we, that is, the Canitaurs, have been in open hostilities with the other group of people on this island, the Zards, for as long as we can remember.

Here I smiled nervously, and replied, "I am a traveler from a distant land, and came here by the advice of a friend."

Wagner looked at me closely, with a hint of almost reverencing respect and said, "You were very fortunate in your travels, I assure you, for had you arrived at any other time, you would have fallen into fouler hands than ours by far. AD LED ME DOWN WELCOME TO DA HIM I AM JEHU I TOLD THEM IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU INDEED AND UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES AS WELL TELL ME HOW DID YOU COME TO BE HERE HERE I SMILED NERVOUSLY AND REPLIED I AM A TRAVELER FROM A DISTANT LAND AND CAME HERE BY THE ADVICE OF A FRIEND AT THIS SOMEWHAT FALSE ANSWER MORE IN CHARACTER THAN IN CONTENT WAGNER LOOKED AT ME WONDERINGLY AS IF DETECTING MY FALSEHOOD BUT DID NOT FOLLOW HIS LOOK WITH ANY PROBING QUESTIONS TO MY GREAT RELIEF IN ORDER TO STEER THE CONVERSATION AWAY FROM THIS POINT I ADDED QUICKLY I AM NOT AT ALL DISAPPOINTED EITHER FOR THE LANDSCAPE IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE TREES AND FOLIAGE ARE WONDROUSLY LARGE BUT I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT FROM THE PRAIRIE TO THE LAKE I SAW NO ONE LIVING AMONGST THESE QUAINT LOCATIONS WAGNER LOOKED AT ME CLOSELY WITH A HINT OF ALMOST REVERENCING RESPECT AND SAID YOU WERE VERY FORTUNATE IN YOUR TRAVELS I ASSURE YOU FOR HAD YOU ARRIVED AT ANY OTHER TIME YOU WOULD HAVE FALLEN INTO FOULER HANDS AND HOURS BY FAR
