` No , ' they replied , ` there are not great numbers , for you see from time to time a voice is heard calling first one and then another , and whoever hears that voice gets up and goes away , and never comes back . ' ` And do they see the person who calls them , ' he asked , ` or do they only hear his voice ? ' ` They both see and hear him , ' was the answer . Well , the man was amazed when he heard that the people were stupid enough to follow the voice , though they knew that if they went when it called them they would never return . And he went back to his own home and got all his possessions together , and , taking his wife and family , he set out resolved to go and live in that country where the people did not die , but where instead they heard a voice calling them , which they followed into a land from which they never returned . For he had made up his own mind that when he or any of his family heard that voice they would pay no heed to it , however loudly it called . After he had settled down in his new home , and had got everything in order about him , he warned his wife and family that , unless they wanted to die , they must on no account listen to a voice which they might some day hear calling them . For some years everything went well with them , and they lived happily in their new home . But one day , while they were all sit-ting together round the table , his wife suddenly started up , exclaiming in a loud voice : ' I am coming ! I am coming ! ' And she began to look round the room for her fur coat , but her husband jumped up , and taking firm hold of her by the hand , held her fast , and reproached her , saying : ` Do n't you remember what I told you ? Stay where you are unless you wish to die . ' ` But do n't you hear that voice calling me ? ' she answered . ' I am merely going to see why I am wanted . I shall come back directly . ' So she fought and struggled to get away from her husband , and to go where the voice summoned . But he would not let her go , and had all the doors of the house shut and bolted . When she saw that he had done this , she said : ` Very well , dear husband , I shall do what you wish , and remain where I am . ' So her husband believed that it was all right , and that she had thought better of it , and had got over her mad impulse to obey the voice .
But a few minutes later she made a sudden dash for one of the doors , opened it and darted out , followed XXXXX her husband .
