"Why art thou so far away from thy dwelling
and in the night?"

" Kraken, it was not without the will of Heaven."

"What meanest thou, Orberosia?"

"That Heaven, O Kraken, placed me in thy path,
for what reason I know not."

Kraken beheld her for a long time in silence.

Then he said with gentleness:

" Orberosia, come into my house; it is that of the
bravest and most ingenious of the sons of the Pen-
guins. If thou art willing to follow me, I will make
thee my companion."

Then casting down her eyes, she murmured:

"I will follow thee, master."

It is thus that the fair Orberosia became the con-
sort of the hero Kraken. This marriage was not
celebrated with songs and torches because Kraken
did not consent to show himself to the people of
the Penguins; but hidden in his cave he planned
great designs.
