And everyone felt great sorrow, because they feared she had eaten the fairy food, and that the spell would never be broken. So her husband was very miserable. However, as he was riding home in the evening, he heard voices in the air, and one of them said, “It’s now a year and a half since the young lord brought home his beautiful bride. But what use is she to him? She is dumb and like a dead body; for her soul is with the fairies, though her form is there beside him.”
