Accordingly little Lusmore was at once brought into the company. Glorious was the sight that burst upon him as he came down through the moat. Among the fairies in their grand hall the greatest honour was paid him. He was put above all the musicians and he had servants to wait upon him and everything to his hearts content. In short he was made as much of as if he had been the first man in the land.

For the hump which you bore. On your back is no more. Look down on the floor. And view it Lusmore." When these words were said poor little Lusmore felt himself so light and so happy that he thought, as he saw his hump tumble down upon the ground from his shoulders he could have jumped over the moon like the cow in the story of the cat and the fiddle.
