Then they hung a collar round his neck , and held a feather on which was written the name of the dove . And at last his memory came back to him , and he declared he would marry the princess and nobody else . So the next day the wedding took place , and they lived happy till they died . -LRB- From the Portuguese . -RRB- VIRGILIUS THE SORCERER Long , long ago there was born to a Roman knight and his wife Maja a little boy called Virgilius . While he was still quite little , his father died , and the kinsmen , instead of being a help and protection to the child and his mother , robbed them of their lands and money , and the widow , fearing that they might take the boy 's life also , sent him away to Spain , that he might study in the great University of Toledo . Virgilius was fond of books , and pored over them all day long . But one afternoon , when the boys were given a holiday , he took a long walk , and found himself in a place where he had never been before . In front of him was a cave , and , as no boy ever sees a cave without entering it , he went in . The cave was so deep that it seemed to Virgilius as if it must run far into the heart of the mountain , and he thought he would like to see if it came out anywhere on the other side . For some time he walked on in pitch darkness , but he went steadily on , and by-and-by a glimmer of light shot across the floor , and he heard a voice calling , ` Virgilius ! Virgilius ! ' ` Who calls ? ' he asked , stopping and looking round . ` Virgilius ! ' answered the voice , ` do you mark upon the ground where you are standing a slide or bolt ? ' ' I do , ' replied Virgilius . ` Then , ' said the voice , ` draw back that bolt , and set me free . ' ` But who are you ? ' asked Virgilius , who never did anything in a hurry . '
I am an evil spirit , ' said the voice , ` shut up here XXXXX Doomsday , unless a man sets me free .
