  1. (continued from previous page)
    He felt very much frightened, until one of them, came up to him and said.
    Lusmore, Lusmore,
    Doubt not, nor deplore
    For the hump which you bore
    On your back is no more,
    When these words were said poor Lusmore felt very happy when he saw his hump on the ground.
    At last he fell into a sound sleep and when he awoke it was broad day light and he was lying at the foot of the moat with the cows grazing around him.
