A small narrow road cut at right angles into his path and, as he approached this, he heard the bustle and movement of a host, the trample of feet, the rolling and creaking of wheels and the long unwearied drone of voices. In a few minutes he came abreast of this small road and saw an ass and cart piled with pots and pans, and walking beside this, there were two men and a woman. The men and the woman were talking loudly, even fiercely, and the ass was drawing his cart along the road without requiring assistance.
