"Look," said Christian, "did not I tell you so? By
this you may see we are right."
So they followed, and he went before them. But,
behold, the night came on, and it grew very dark; so that 15
they who were behind lost sight of him that went before.
He, therefore, that went before--Vain-Confidence by
name--not seeing the way before him, fell into a deep
pit and was dashed in pieces with his fall.
Now Christian and his fellow heard him fall; so they 20
called to know the matter. But there was no answer,
only they heard a groan.
