Day?

My guards began to sense that I could understand much of their conversations and that I was becoming a sympathetic listener. Furthermore, I was able to convince them that I was no military spy, but an explorer in search of the secrets and mysteries of ancient Hindu history. In fact I was so successful in this respect that the next time I was led down to the lake, on our return I was shown through to another courtyard wherein was enshrined the legendary golden statue of a beautiful female goddess that had been transported from Southern India centuries before. I was in little doubt that she was a depiction of Laksmi, the goddess of fortune and the third deity to whom the temple had been dedicated.

I was further pleased to note that, when I was eventually returned to my position by the fire, my bonds were now to be left unsecured, although my guards maintained their armed vigilance. I was now looking forward to the return of the ‘Giant Rat’ and not viewing it with my previous dread. I would not have to wait much longer.
