The ring of horse's feet upon the quiet road! "How you were all laughing when we came in!" says Violet, presently: "we could hear you all along the corridor. What was it about?" "Are you brave enough to enter the lodge of that dreadful person?" asked the Raven. "He lives near here. His lodge is of stone like this one, and hanging in it are eyes—the eyes of those he has killed or taken away. He has taken out their eyes and hung them in his lodge. Now, then!
