Chapter III
"No more the beast and the death," his thoughts swelled, a shout of victory. "For where are _they_ who sat and watched many deaths? _They_ are gone as the wave smashes itself upon the coast rocks and is no more. But the People are free and never more shall Those Others put bonds upon them! Therefore do I say that this is a place of nothing, where evil has turned in upon itself and come to nothing.
