'You are no longer a little child, and you must no longer depend on what touches your heart from the outside, but on what moves it from within. 'Well, I think I shall like that better, on the whole, said Calladon. 'It will make me feel more like a man. But what is it that I ought not to do, dear Master?
These had a beauty of their own, but it was easy to see that they were less beautiful than Abra. The best use of them was, perhaps, to let it be known that Abra was better than they. Calladon once asked the Master about this, and he answered: 'If it were not for Abra, there could be no Cada, and no Bra. But neither could there be any Abra, if Cada and Bra did not surround it.
'She will know nothing except from you, and as long as you are obedient to what I have told you, she will be obedient to you. But if you become disobedient, she will sooner or later begin to rule you; and whenever that happens you will be sure to suffer. 'Then it all depends on me? said Calladon.
He took Calladon by the hand, and instantly the light grew brighter; the dark walls grew white; there was a sound of music in the air, and a delicate perfume of flowers came to Calladon's nostrils. He looked up and saw that he was in Abra; and the great lamp burned in the centre as before. 'Oh, not here! he exclaimed, shrinking back and hiding his face.
All I shall do, therefore, is to tell you what you had best avoid doing, and then leave you to follow my advice or not, as you choose. 'Oh, there will be no trouble about that! exclaimed Calladon cheerfully, 'for will not my golden sash press against my heart whenever I go wrong, and remind me to turn back? 'No, for you will not wear the golden sash any more, replied the Master.
It told the truth, and the truth was very agreeable. 'I am glad of it for your sake, Callia, said Calladon. 'I hope I shall always be as handsome as you want me to be. 'I don't mind whether you are handsome or not, as long as you are Calladon, she answered. 'It seems to me, Callia, that if I have you, and you have me, we do not need anything else.
'It will not do to stay here, said Calladon, as soon as he had caught his breath. 'That creature probably owns the jewels, and we should never be safe from him. And I have lost ever so many of the stones while Here Calladon broke off suddenly, and uttered a cry. 'What is the matter? asked Callia. 'Is the creature here again?
And after all, what could be more delightful than simply to be together? Calladon was more pleased in knowing that Callia was pleased than he could have been at anything that merely pleased himself; and his pleasure gave greater pleasure to Callia than any pleasure of her own could have done.
'But I should like to go with you, said Calladon. 'That may come to pass hereafter, the Master replied, 'but not now, and it will depend upon what you do and think while I am parted from you, whether or not it comes to pass at all. 'What is it that I must do? inquired Calladon.
At the same moment Callia awoke; and seeing Calladon, she sprang up with a cry of joy and kissed him. She was as lovely as the day. 'The mirror tells you the truth now as always, Calladon, said the Master's loving voice for it was he. And he laid his hand upon him, and instantly the deformed shell in which Calladon was clothed fell from him, and he was more beautiful than ever.
