He proposed to marry one of them, leaving the mother to choose which of the two she would give him. Neither of the daughters, however, would have him, and they sent him from one to the other, each being unable to make up her mind to marry a man with a blue beard.

And the look in his face made her cold.,He interrupted her with an upheld hand.,In silence they passed on through the upland gowned in hazy, golden spray.
