CHAPTER IV.

HOW THE TWO BROTHERS TOOK THE ENVOYS’ COUNSEL, AND WENT TO

THE COURT OF THE GREAT KAAN.

So when the Two Brothers had made their arrangements, they set out on

their travels, in company with the Envoys, and journeyed for a whole

year, going northward and north-eastward, before they reached the Court

of that Prince. And on their journey they saw many marvels of divers

and sundry kinds, but of these we shall say nothing at present, because

Messer Mark, who has likewise seen them all, will give you a full

account of them in the Book which follows.
