Excerpt from Arthur and Gorlagon Then I took the child back to his father in a ship. On the voyage I came to an island, in which there was but one habitation, a court dark and gloomy. I entered, and found no one within but a frightful hag. I heard somebody groaning. She said it was her son, whose hand had been bitten off by a dog, - ih another country, twelve years before. I offered to cure him, and was left alone with him in an inner room. He had but one eye, and that was in the middle of his forehead. I had heated an iron bar, pretending that it was to burn away the corrupt flesh, but I plunged it into his eye as far as I could. He tried to catch me, but I got out of the chamber and shut the door. I told the hag that he would be quiet pres ently and would then sleep a good while. She gave me the reward that she had promised, eight young lads and three young women, who, she informed me, were the sons and daughters of the king and had all been stolen by her son. I took ship again, sailed to the king's country, and restored the twelve children to him and his queen. The king gave me the child whose keeper I had been. I spent a time, till my visit was over, and I told the king all the troubles I had been through; only I said nothing about my wife.
