But his back was uncovered, seeing that he would not turn. And the Spirit of the Path met him. It was a young girl of two and twenty years, and she warned him fairly that without the Serpent ° his ways were but as wool cast into the dyer’s vat. ‘Two-and-twenty scales had the Serpent, and every scale was a path, and every path was alike an enemy and a friend.
