"Yes. Do you understand of what he speaks?"

"No."

"He speaks of the most important--of the most vital, Khorre--if we
could only understand it--I want to understand it. Listen, Khorre,
listen! Why does he make believe that he is Haggart? It is not my
soul. My soul does not know this."

"What, Noni?"

"I don't know. What terrible dreams there are in this land!
Listen. There! Now he will cry and he will say: 'It is Haggart
crying.' He will call God and will say: 'Haggart is calling.' He
lies--Haggart did not call, Haggart does not know God."

He moans again, trying to restrain himself.

"Do you feel any pain?"

"Yes--Be silent."

Haggart exclaims in a muffled voice:

"Oh, Khorre!"

"What is it, Noni?"

"Why don't you tell him that it isn't Haggart? It is a lie!"
