Around the bed gathered the hosts of Faeries even the Faeries of the stream were there, a little drier than usual, though the House-Faeries made them keep on the outer circle. The Queen was in the centre directly over little Janet.
"Wherefore," he concluded, "let all the Faeries here gathered proceed as before and accompany the Queen to the place where the child lies, and let the gifts that have been brought to the Queen be carried by trusty servants." So they set out as before in exactly the same order, except that the House-Faeries and the Sea-Faeries were not there.
