Now there was a Merchant Prince who had come to Thangobrind and had offered his daughter's soul for the diamond that is larger than the human head and was to be found on the lap of the spider idol, Hlo hlo, in his temple of Moung ga ling; for he had heard that Thangobrind was a thief to be trusted. NOW THERE WAS A MERCHANT PRINCE WHO HAD COME TO THANGOBRIND AND HAD OFFERED HIS DAUGHTER'S SOUL FOR THE DIAMOND THAT IS LARGER THAN THE HUMAN HEAD AND WAS TO BE FOUND ON THE LAP OF THE SPIDER IDOL HOLLO HOLLA IN HIS TEMPLE OF MUNGO LING FOR HE HAD HEARD THAT THANGOBRIND WAS A THIEF TO BE TRUSTED
he surged into the water between temple and tomb. He galloped with half-shut eyes up the temple-steps, and, only seeing dimly through his lashes, seized Sombelenë by the hair, undazzled as yet by her beauty, and so haled her away; and, leaping with her over the floorless chasm where the waters of the lake fall unremembered away into a hole in the world, took her we know not where, to be her slave for all centuries that are allowed to his race. Three blasts he gave as he went upon that silver horn that is the world-old treasure of the centaurs. These were his wedding bells. DISTRESSING TALE OF THANGOBRIND THE JEWELLER When Thangobrind the jeweller heard the ominous cough, he turned at once upon that narrow way. A thief was he, of very high repute, being patronized by the lofty and elect, for he stole nothing smaller than the Moomoo's egg, and in all his life stole only four kinds of stone--the ruby, the diamond, the emerald, and the sapphire; and, as jewellers go, his honesty was great.
