The stranger took Mīka´pi's hand and made him feel of his own right hand. The thumb and fingers were closed except the forefinger, which was extended.

But soon he lost interest, for a new danger threatened him. It was one which he had failed to foresee when he had planned this means of escape.,"I hope it is," says Geoffrey; "though, taking your words for gospel, it rather puts me out in the cold.
