"Shall you leave him here?"
"I will send out some of my men to bury him. He was a grand beast, and deserves burial. And now let us be going back."
"I will get off the horse and leave him to you," said Gerald.
"No; since my lion killed your horse, it is only fair that you should ride on mine. To be sure you killed the lion."
"I feel proud of it. I never expected to kill a lion."
