He had gone back tolive with spirits as good and faithful andpure as himself. The knight at once had the silver bellplaced in the forest. But he could notforget his faithful page. He sought forhim everywhere, and when at evening thesilver tones of the little bell rang out inthe quiet air they seemed to him like thewords of an angel, and filled his heartwith restless desire.
