I have never been able to understand exactly what took place. Margaret shuddered. 'I've never met a man who filled me with such loathing, she said. 'I don't know what there is about him that frightens me. Even now I feel his eyes fixed strangely upon me.
Undine looked at the knight, her blue eyes sparkling as she cried, 'But indeed the wicked creature did not dare to roast you, Sir Knight!

Yet still I found it impossible to pull up my frightened steed.
I awaited helplessly the triumph of Mr. Pound. From out of the bush, from out of the air, as though impelled by a spirit hand, a long stick swung. It fell upon my enemy's head and drove it to the ground. He lifted his head and turned from me, striking madly, but the rod fell again upon his back.
