"I can tell you no more; I will not; and you must never ask me. It is enough that I speak the truth, and that I have been able to save your life." "I'll tell you all something," he says, "though I hardly think I ought, if you will swear not to betray me.".

After she had sung she took the robe away, and there under it lay her father's body, as if he had just died. Once again she covered the body with the robe and sang, and this time when she took the robe away the body was breathing. A third time she covered the body with the robe and sang, and when she again took away the robe, the body moved its arms and legs a little.
