Until I recover it, I can listen to no proposition of marriage.” Avenant, surprised and disturbed, made her a profound reverence and retired, taking with him the basket and the little dog Cabriole, which she refused to accept.

Before dawn Cabriole wakened him, saying: “Master, dress yourself and let us go to the river.” There Avenant walked up and down, with his arms folded and his head bent, but saw nothing.

Farewell!” Avenant took the ring gratefully and returned to the palace with Cabriole, who scampered about in great glee.

Cabriole was the only creature that gave him consolation: “Courage, master! While you attack the giant, I will bite his legs: he will stoop down to strike me, and then you can knock him on the head.” Avenant smiled at the little dog’s spirit, but he knew it was useless.
