Now and then, too, a dim human figure would appear and disappear, at some distance, amongst the trees, moving like a sleep-walker.

But no one ever came near me.
This day I found plenty of food in the forest--strange nuts and fruits I had never seen before.

I hesitated to eat them; but argued that, if I could live on the air of Fairy Land, I could live on its food also.

I found my reasoning correct, and the result was better than I had hoped; for it not only satisfied my hunger, but operated in such a way upon my senses that I was brought into far more complete relationship with the things around me.

The human forms appeared much more dense and defined; more tangibly visible, if I may say so.
