To the wide, staring eyes that questioned his so urgently, Lanyard promptly nodded grave reassurance. He hadn't stirred since his first, involuntary and almost imperceptible start, and before the last fragment of splintered glass had tinkled on the floor above, he was calming her in the most matter-of-fact manner.

She became so pale as she uttered these words that Brigit leant forward with a gesture of reassurance.
Fearfully he asks his father if he does not hear the Erlking's whispered promises. "It is only the dry leaves rustling in the wind." The father quiets him, and his voice is full of firm and loving reassurance, but he feels that his child is sick. For but a few seconds all is still; then the voice comes back again. In a low whisper sounds and words are distinguished.
He lifted his face and looked at her, needing the reassurance of her human eyes; and they met his with their remote gentleness. For a long moment they gazed at each other. Then Sir Hugh, stumbling a little, got upon his feet and stood, half turned from her, looking away into the room.
