  1. (continued from previous page)
    He took her to a boat and they both set sail, and when they were nearly up to the river Maigue he told her she should never see her father again. She cried until her eyes were sore and all the time she was thinking that what the dwarf told her was true. They went on until they reached a small hut in a wood and there they were to live. Every day she used shed tears and she died after of grief.
