Moving lightly, with a hunter's tread, the watcher by the pool came very near, even in the still evening, before the Princess saw him. When he saw her closely he exclaimed suddenly: "She must be more beautiful than the Sea." When the Princess turned and saw his garb and his great spear she knew that he was a hunter of gariachs. When the three kings heard the young man exclaim they said softly to one another: "This must be the man." MOVING LIGHTLY WITH A HUNTER'S TREAD THE WATCHER BY THE POOL CAME VERY NEAR EVEN IN THE STILL EVENING BEFORE THE PRINCESS SAW HIM WHEN HE SAW HER CLOSELY HE EXCLAIMED SUDDENLY SHE MUST BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE SEA WHEN THE PRINCESS TURNED AND SAW HIS GARB AND HIS GREAT SPEAR SHE KNEW THAT HE WAS A HUNTER OF GORIAX WHEN THE THREE KINGS HEARD THE YOUNG MAN EXCLAIM THEY SAID SOFTLY TO ONE ANOTHER THIS MUST BE THE MAN
l songs arose, and the face of Hilnaric became a resting-place for mysteries and dreams. "Than all these things," said the kings, "she is more lovely: but who can say whether she is lovelier than the Sea?" Prone in a rhododendron thicket at the edge of the palace lawns a hunter had waited since the sun went down. Near to him was a deep pool where the hyacinths grew and strange flowers floated upon it with broad leaves; and there the great bull gariachs came down to drink by starlight; and, waiting there for the gariachs to come, he saw the white form of the Princess leaning on her balcony. Before the stars shone out or the bulls came down to drink he left his lurking-place and moved closer to the palace to see more nearly the Princess. The palace lawns were full of untrodden dew, and everything was still when he came across them, holding his great spear. In the farthest corner of the terraces the three old kings were discussing the beauty of Hilnaric and the destiny of the Inner Lands. EA MIST THE SOUND OF SMALL SONGS AROSE AND THE FACE OF HILNARCH BECAME A RESTING PLACE FOR MYSTERIES AND DREAMS THEN ALL THESE THINGS SAID THE KINGS SHE IS MORE LOVELY BUT WHO CAN SAY WHETHER SHE IS LOVELIER THAN THE SEA PRONE IN A RHODODENDRON THICKET AT THE EDGE OF THE PALACE LAWNS A HUNTER HAD WAITED SINCE THE SUN WENT DOWN NEAR TO HIM WAS A DEEP POOL WHERE THE HYACINTHS GREW AND STRANGE FLOWERS FLOATED UPON IT WITH BROAD LEAVES AND THERE THE GREAT BULGARAEKS CAME DOWN TO DRINK BY STARLIGHT AND WAITING THERE FOR THE GARIEKS TO COME HE SAW THE WHITE FORM OF THE PRINCESS LEANING ON HER BALCONY BEFORE THE STARS SHONE OUT OR THE BULLS CAME DOWN TO DRINK HE LEFT HIS LURKING PLACE AND MOVED CLOSER TO THE PALACE TO SEE MORE NEARLY THE PRINCESS THE PALACE LAWNS WERE FULL OF UNTRODDEN DEW AND EVERYTHING WAS STILL WHEN HE CAME ACROSS THEM HOLDING HIS GREAT SPEAR IN THE FARTHEST CORNER OF THE TERRACES THE THREE OLD KINGS WERE DISCUSSING THE BEAUTY OF HILNARIC AND THE DESTINY OF THE INNER LANDS
