As soon as she falls asleep, pick up the stone and hide it in
your fist, and you will then see all those men who are there, 258
and all will see you.”
Now Partalopi hid the stone, and they parted. A little
later Partalopi took his horse and rode away so that no per- 2«

before until he got into bed there where Marmoria was. 264
She welcomed him well and asked him for mueh news. He
told it. Then Marmoria spoke: “That I know, Partalopi,”
