Walk the precipice's edge

— Já vedes, disse o italiano, que estais na minha mão; sirva-vos isto de exemplo. Quando uma vez se pôs o pé sobre o precipício, amigos, é preciso caminhar por cima dele, para não rolar e ir ao fundo. Caminhemos pois. Só de uma coisa vos advirto;— de hoje em diante obediência cega e passiva!

The setting

You see now, said the Italian, that you are in my hand; let this serve you as an example. Once one has set foot over the precipice, friends, one must walk along its edge, so as not to roll and go to the bottom. Let us walk on, then. Of one thing only I warn you;—from now on, blind and passive obedience!
