It was evident that diplomacy was now

to play I tow many of these people there

gathering ho estimated nt about a hundred

and moment by moment more were coming

each carrying n cret on a staff or a

Slow-movlng. unemotional, peering dimly

they were passing through a complex series

labyrlnthlo defenses which all well lighted
from above, by Are baskets spoke only
too plainly the character of the Inclosure

realised as he and Beatrice were thrust
forward through the last gate. "Evidently
