It was here that Nu-nah took her first lesson from Rathunor; it

was in this sacred spot that Rathunor gently but cautiously

revealed to her the Initiatory Rites of the Temple that had been

performed over her unconscious body. This excited an intense

curiosity, if not deep interest, in Nu-nah's mind. She began to

question and think and, as she thought, there came a vague,

glimmering memory of the past, and when Rathunor would inquire

the cause of her almost unconscious moods, she would raise her

hand to silence his voice, and whisper, "I am dreaming--O,

something so grand, so solemn, so sacred haunts my mind; just

wait and it will all come by and by," then her dark eyes seemed

to grow larger and larger and to burn with a concentrated fire.
