Galahad knelt alone before the altar, and asked God to tell him what to do next. And as he prayed a voice said, "Thou brave knight, go to the Castle of Maidens and rescue them." Galahad rose, and gladly journeyed on to the Castle of Maidens. There he found seven knights, who long ago had seized the castle from a maiden to whom it belonged.
Gently the bold hero kissed his lady mother as once again her sad tears fell. 'Fear not, dear mother, he said, 'fear not; ere long I will return and bring with me the beauteous maiden Kriemhild. Yet the Queen and her maidens wept, and over the little band of knights a sudden gloom fell, they knew not why.
Then they took the birds to the shore of the lake and set them free.

They say that many of the Yankee maidens in Philadelphia and New York are fine for looks. I wonder if they'll cast a favoring eye on young Southern officers as our conquering armies go marching down their streets!" "It's too remote. Don't think about it, Harry. Richmond will do us for the present." "But you can let a fellow project his mind into the future."
He was seated alone in his wigwam, attended only by the gentle Mushymush, fairest of the "Pigeon Feet" maidens. Nowhere were the characteristics of her great tribe more plainly shown than in the little feet that lapped over each other in walking. A single glance at the chief was sufficient to show the truth of the wild rumors respecting his youth.
The common people were a prey to the more powerful; their property was seized, their bodies dragged away to distant countries; their maidens were either thrown into a brothel, or sold for slaves. Drinking day and night was the general pursuit; vices, the companions of inebriety, followed, effeminating the manly mind." The baronial castles were dens of robbers.
