midday
Only seeing them fallen he walked on over them , and pursued his way along the nek and down it to the plains beyond . All that night he walked , looking behind him from time to time to see if any followed , but none came . He was alone , quite alone , save for the dream that led him towards the north . At sunrise he rested and slept a while , then , awaking after midday , went on his road . He did not know the road , yet never was he in doubt for a moment . It was always clear to him whither he should go . That night he finished his food and again slept a while , going forward at the dawn .
