"Then I shall whistle," said Gunder, composedly. The king cast at him a look of reproach, and turning to Prince Marvel he said: "It will be a great task to string up so many thieves. You look tired. Permit me to assist you to hang the others, and then I will climb into a tree and hang myself from a strong branch, with as little bother as possible."
The fifty-eight reformed thieves, led by Gunder, returned to their cave, where they were living comfortably on the treasure Prince Marvel had given them; and the Gray Men and giants and dwarfs of Spor departed for their own country. In the morning Prince Marvel led his own gay cavalcade through the hole in the hedge, and they rode merrily away in search of adventure.
"I have always expected to be hanged some day, and I am glad no one but you two boys will witness me when my feet begin kicking about." "I shall not kick," declared another of the thieves, who had also regained his senses. "I shall sing while I am being hanged." "But you can not, my good Gunder," protested the king; "for the rope will cut off your breath, and no man can sing without breath."
