He spread his robe over the clay figures and went away. The next morning he went back to the place and lifted up the robe, and saw that the clay shapes had changed a little. When he looked at them the next morning, they had changed still more; and when on the fourth day he went to the place and took off the covering, he said to the images, "Stand up and walk," and they did so. They walked down to the river with him who had made them, and he told them his name.,CHAPTER XIV.,"Is he dead?" she asks, in a whisper, pointing without looking at their late foe.

Her face changes. He has made no mention of the treasured gown, has said no little word of praise.,He is delighted with her ready response, her gayety, her sweetness, her freshness; was there ever so fair a face?
