And he never would have let us follow you. Don’t you agree, Clothilde?” “Based on what the chief told Xa, the village doesn’t have any interest in the temple,” Clothilde said. “He’s under orders from Ormond. He couldn’t risk trying to detain you, in case your story is true. Plus, he couldn’t be sure of what a band of greedy foreigners with guns might do if provoked. So his men are going to keep an eye on us while he sends someone to Stung Treng to consult with Ormond and find out what’s really going on.”
