" Shall I light the wick 1 " "No. My strange face might alarm the spirit, " calmly answered Saikei, taking his place upon the mats spread for him. ' ' Namu A mida Butsu ! Amida I Amida ! Amida I " In another instant he was alone, and the elder was rushing like a spring torrent down the pathway, thinking, " ...He will be scared presently. Wait until he feels the cold hand ! Oya !
