The other replied: "Why should you think that I know anything about this Suskind or that we of the Léshy keep any account of your doings? No matter what you may elect to think, however, it was decreed that the first person I found here should ride hence on my black horse. But you and the child stand abreast.
Queen Anaitis was very beautiful, even under his bedimming shadow. Triumphant too was the proud face beneath that curious coral network, and yet this woman's face was sad. "Dear fool," she said, "it was not wise, when you sang of the Leshy, to put an affront upon Monday. But you have forgotten that.
"Not with the forces of evil," said Manuel, "for I saw many of these in the high woods of Dun Vlechlan, and I do not fancy them as allies. But are good and evil all one to you of the Léshy?" "Why should we tell you, Manuel?" says the magician. "That, Miramon, is a musty reply." "It is not a reply, it is a question.
"Well, then, thank goodness, that is over!" says Jurgen, to himself. "Of course, she may be listening still, and it is dangerous jesting with the Leshy: but really they do not seem to be very intelligent. Otherwise this irritable maunderer would have known that, everything else apart, I am heartily tired of the responsibilities of youth under any such constant surveillance.
The head sighed, and bit at its white lips. "An oath is an oath to the Léshy. Therefore do you, who are human, now make profitable use of the knowledge and of the power you get from those other women by breaking oaths! And as you have served me, so will I serve you."
"Well, I have always heard so, sir." The head shook itself dubiously. "Now from whom of the Léshy, I wonder, can you have been hearing such fantastic stories? I am afraid somebody has been making fun of you, Manuel." "Oh, no, sir, this is a tenet held by the wisest and most admirable of men."
For, I must tell you, Manuel, it is a law of the Léshy that a magician cannot surrender his prey unless the magician be conquered. I must tell you, too, that when I carried off Gisèle I acted, as I by and by discovered, rather injudiciously." "Now, by holy Paul and Pollux! I do not understand this at all, Miramon."
For I am forced to gather from your wild way of talking that you of the Léshy indeed do not keep any record of our human doings." The stranger raised what he had of eyebrows. "But how can we," he inquired, "when we have so many matters of real importance to look after?"
"'Something', do you say! why, but to my way of thinking it proves the Moon is precisely seven times more honorable than any of the Leshy. It is merely, my dear, a question of arithmetic." "Was it for that reason you did not praise Pandelis and her Mondays with the other Leshy?" "Why, to be sure," said Jurgen, glibly.
"I did not find it at all praiseworthy that such an insignificant Leshy as Pandelis should name her day after the Moon: to me it seemed blasphemy." Then Jurgen coughed, and looked sidewise at his shadow. "Had it been Sereda, now, the case would have been different, and the Moon might well have appreciated the delicate compliment." Anaitis appeared relieved. "I shall report your explanation.
