As they went down the hill the talk turned to the hylas and the spring, but when they reached the house Nan did not go in to Dick.
The birdlike piping of hylas came from a marshy strip of woodland that ran through the centre of the town and a toad was croaking at the foot of Imboden Hill. "And they come next."
But a goddess-nymph through love has made Hylas her husband, on whose account those two wandered and were left behind." He spake, and with a plunge wrapped him about with the restless wave; and round him the dark water foamed in seething eddies and dashed against the hollow ship as it moved through the sea.
