The Dryad, who had often come to the cottage to see if she could find an opportunity of carrying out old Pipes's affectionate design, now happened by; and seeing that the much-desired occasion had come, she stepped up quietly behind the old woman and gently kissed her on each cheek, and then as quietly disappeared.

Old Pipes's mother was, of course, a great deal older than he was, and was as deaf as a gate posts, latch, hinges, and all and she never knew that the sound of her son's pipe did not spread over all the mountain-side and echo back strong and clear from the opposite hills.
And for fear that their parents might think it well that they should commence their careers anew, they never said a word about finding the Dryad-tree. As the summer days went on Old Pipes's mother grew feebler and feebler.

Fie upon you, Echo-dwarf! You are lazy and selfish; and that is what is the matter with you.
