Stranica 3 - THE STORY OF THE GLITTERING PLAIN, which has been also called The Land of the Living Men, or The Acre of the Undying.
Stranica 152 - So they entered, and the Warden heeded Hallblithe nothing. They ate and drank and then went to their rest; and Hallblithe lay in a shut-bed off from the hall, but the Warden brought the seekers otherwhere, so that Hallblithe saw them not after he had gone to bed; but as for him, he slept and forgot that aught was.

Stranica 7 - She loved him no less, & no man of the kindred gainsaid their love, and they were to be wedded on Midsummer Night. C But one day of early spring, when the days were yet short and the nights long, Hallblithe...
Stranica 56 - ... stoups and horns and beakers, and some went their ways and came not back awhile, for they were busied about the cooking. But whatever they did, none hailed him, or heeded him more than if he had been an image, as he sat there looking on. None save the old woman who brought him the fore-supper, to wit a great horn of mead, and cakes and dried fish.
