"None the less, I mean to hold no further traffic with Queen Helen." "Now my reason for not going is this," said Horvendile: "that if I attempted to embrace the knees of Ettarre, whom people hereabouts call Helen, she would instantly vanish. Other matters apart, I do not wish to bring any such misfortune upon the Island of Leuke." "But that," said Perion, "is nonsense."

"Messire Horvendile, if you are attempting to joke about Koshchei who made all things as they are, I warn you I do not consider that sort of humor very wholesome. Without being prudish, I believe in common-sense: and I would vastly prefer to have you talk about something else." Horvendile was still smiling. "You look some day to come to Koshchei, as you call the Author.
Horvendile stepped forward, and the thicket closed behind him, concealing Horvendile and this woman. Manuel, looking puzzled, went on a little way, and when he was assured of being alone he flung himself face downward and wept. The reason of this was, they relate, that young Manuel had loved Niafer as he could love nobody else.
