But Isoult was troubled afresh, and put her hand against his chest to

stay hi very short

"Lord," she said, "thou ed ; but thou hast no love for me in thy heart, as I

know very well"

Here was a bother indeed The girl was fair enough in her peaked elfin

way; but the fact was that he did not love her--nor anybody He had

nothing to say therefore She waited a little, and then, with her

voice sunk to a low ether except in love Shall it not be so?"

Prosper bowed, saying-"It shall be so"

The girl knelt suddenly down and kissed his foot Then she rose and

stood near hi up, they saw the field of heaven strewn thick with stars, the

clouds driven off, the wind dropt And then they went into the hovel

hand-in-hand, as they had gone out

As soon as he saw the his hands

"Wife Mald, wife Mald, look up!" cried he; "there will be a wedding

this night See, they are hand-fasted already"
