I speak the truth, chattered the little monkey. Try
not my patiencetoo far or you shall indeed know the feel of the
sacredknife.
Defile not the temple of the Flaming God or

But where shall we go if we leave the Valley of the Palaceof Diamonds?
I am Cadj, High Priest of the Flaming God, and this
ishis temple. Kraski, being of a highly nervous temperament, atebut little, but he
showed no signs of fear.
Have a care, Cadj, warned one of the older

Look,he said, the terrace and the gardens are
filled withBolgani.
Wait a moment, he said, until the rest of the
Gomanganicome.
These fellows stolethe ivory themselves, and killed
a lot of people, probably,to do it.
We must watchcarefully against a surprise. Once
again have you gone too far, Cadj, she criedbitterly. Even so, it is sufficient to

Defile not the temple of the Flaming God or
youshall know his wrath.
Kraski rose and grasped Flora by the arm.
