It was dark in there, and he made straight for Paddy's new pond, trotting along swiftly without making a sound. When he was near the aspen-trees which he knew Paddy was planning to cut, he crept forward very slowly and carefully. Everything was still as still could be.
By ten o'clock no one remained in the hall but a few intimates, the two Gondis, Tavannes, Solern, Birago, the king, and the queen-mother. The king sat plunged in the blackest melancholy.
