The Interpreter had refreshed Christiana, Mercy, and the boys. Before they continued their journey, another visitor arrived. Then said the Interpreter, "This is Great-heart, your guide and conductor. He will faithfully accompany you until you shall come to the desired haven." Christiana welcomed him gladly. "Sir," she said, "our Lord has dealt kindly with us already, and now He has added this mercy also."

The pilgrims had now left the House of the Interpreter. Christiana walked with her four sons, and Mercy kept close beside them. They had learned much within those walls, but the King's Highway still stretched before them, and none of them knew what the next day's journey would bring.
