“We’ve made a mistake.”
I could say nothing, for I did not know where we were, nor where we were going.
“Let us walk for another five minutes and, if we do not see the trees, we will come back here. I might have made a mistake on the road.”
Now that I knew that we had gone astray, I seemed to have no more strength left. Vitalis pulled me by the arm.
“Come, come.”
“I can’t walk any farther.”
“Ah, and do you think I’m going to carry you?”
I followed him.
“Are there any deep ruts in the road?”
“No.”
