"Oh, Nolly, what?" says Mona; "do tell us." She fixes her eyes on his. "Tell me again how it all happened," he says, laying his hands on her shoulders. And then she goes through it again, slowly, carefully. The woman went on and got the water, and when she came back she took the stone and gave it to her husband, telling him about the song and what the stone had said..
