"Yonder is the sword of which I spoke." As Arthur looked he saw a fair maid coming toward him over the water. "What damsel is that?" he inquired of Merlin. "That is the Lady of the Lake," answered the magician.
It was wonderful how the moonlight transformed everything. Here was the living, breathing poem itself before her. She forgot it was Lloyd and Malcolm posing in makeshift costumes on a calico-covered dry goods box.
