Rupert made a sign to him to lift the body of his little girl, and then led the way to the little grave.

The father laid her in, and then fell on his knees by it with his wife, and prayed in a loud voice, broken with sobs.

Rupert and Hugh stood by uncovered, until the peasant had finished.

Then the little grave was filled in; and Rupert, pointing to the ruined house, placed five gold pieces in the woman's hand.

Then they mounted their horses again and rode on, the man and his wife both kneeling by the roadside praying for blessings on their heads.
A week later, Rupert again had occasion to pass through the village, and dismounted and walked to the little grave.
