Note 4 — Chapter C
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
“When the hermit-boy had said this, I at once told him the whole of our adventure from the beginning; then that boy, who could read the future,4 and his companions, exhorted us with various speeches, and diverted our minds from suicide. Then the hermit-boy, after he had bathed, took us to his father’s hermitage, which was at no great distance, to entertain us.
