Thus hath thy wish been accomplished; for this was the great champion and duke of the men of the Dry Tree. Indeed it is a pity of him that he is dead, for as terrible as he was to his foes, he was no ill man." Spake Richard: "Now is the riddle areded of the wild-man and the mighty giant that haunted these passes.
