The cows were standing ready in the place where Covan had left them, and they journeyed on all that day, till, when night fell, they reached the cottage. Joyful indeed was the old man as the cows went into their stables, and he beheld the rich milk that flowed into the pail of the golden-haired maiden with the silver comb. 'You have done well indeed, he said to Covan son of Gorla.
As he had been bidden, behind them came Ardan son of Gorla, rejoicing in his heart that work so easy had fallen to his lot. At the year's end, thought he, enough money would lie in his pocket to carry him into far countries where his sister might be, and, in the meanwhile, someone might come past who could give him tidings of her.
Ronnie, on whom Cicely kept a solicitous eye, showed no sign of any intention of falling in love with Gorla. He was more profitably engaged in paying court to the Grafin von Tolb, whose hospitable mansion in Belgrave Square invested her with a special interest in his eyes. As a professional Prince Charming he had every inducement to encourage the cult of Fairy Godmother.
'Spare me a morsel, Ardan son of Gorla, asked a raven, fluttering down towards him. 'Seek food elsewhere, O bearer of ill-news, answered Ardan son of Gorla; 'it is but little I have for myself. And he stretched himself out for a few moments, then rose to his feet again.
So they ran on, in France, till Voiture's time, and Sarrazin's with his merry ballade of an elopement, and Corneille's proud and graceful stanzas to Marquise de Gorla. But verses in the English tongue are more worthy of our attention. Mr. "Drink to me only with thine eyes," says the great Ben Jonson, or sings it rather.
At length, when two years and two days had passed since the maiden had led her kids to feed on the mountain and had been seen no more, Ruais, second son of Gorla, rose up one morning, and said: 'Time is long without my sister and Ardan my brother. So I have vowed to seek them wherever they may be.
But cast with what skill he might, it availed nothing, for the salmon would not even look at the bait. 'I am beaten at last, unless the Doran-donn can deliver me, he cried. And as he spoke there was a swish of the water, and the face of the Doran-donn looked up at him. 'O catch me, I pray you, that salmon under the rock! said Covan son of Gorla.
A servant entered the room and made a brief announcement. "Mr. Yeovil has arrived, madam." "Bother," said Ronnie sulkily. "Now you'll cool off about that supper party, and turn down Gorla and the rest of us." It was certainly true that the supper already seemed a more difficult proposition in Cicely's eyes than it had a moment or two ago.
Next morning the bell of the deer was not heard amongst the fern before the maiden with the hair of gold had milked the cows, and led them in front of the cottage where the old man and Ardan son of Gorla awaited them. 'Let them wander where they will, he said to his servant, 'and never seek to turn them from their way, for well they know the fields of good pasture.
"Gorla gets quite good notices on the whole, doesn't she?" "The one that took my fancy most was the one in the Standard," said Yeovil, picking up that paper from a table by his side and searching its columns for the notice in question. "'The wolves which appeared earlier in the evening's entertainment are, the programme assures us, trained entirely by kindness.
