Chapter VIII
They dragged Haral out of his cell just after noon. Wearily, he raised his eyes from his shackled wrists and, squinting at the sudden glare, looked up into the yellow Ulnese sky. He wondered, bleakly, if he'd ever get another chance to taste its freedom. Then a _Pervod_ took one arm, a _dau_ the other. Roughly, they hurried him into the central park with shoves and buffets.
