The house was quiet and still and the girl slept.

She awoke in the afternoon sun, and heard the beating of horse's hooves on the road outside. Quickly, she jumped up, and taking up the things the devil had given her, ran outside into the sunlight and began to make the music the devil had made in the wood.

The young man stopped his fine horse, dismounted, and walked as though in a dream towards the girl. She turned, continuing to play, and led him into the house, upstairs to her chamber.
