"On Devil Tor."
"How far from home?"
"What—from Willsworthy?"
"Yes, from Willsworthy, of course. That is my home."
"You want to find your way back? How did you come here?"
"You ask me two questions. Naturally, I want to get to my home. As for how I came here—on my feet. I went forth alone on the moor."
"And lost your way?"
"Certainly, or I would not be here. I lost my way."
"You cannot by any possibility return direct over the bog and through the fire to Willsworthy. I could not guide you there myself. No man, not the best moor-shepherd could do this at such a time. But what ails your hands? You have hurt yourself."
"Yes, I have hurt myself."
