Next evening , at the moment when Denis was accustomed to wait for her in the shadow of the cowhouse , Tephany stuck the pin in her dress , and at the very same instant Barbaik took up her sabots or wooden shoes and went through the orchard and past to the fields , to the plot where the cabbages grew . With a heart as light as her footsteps , the girl ran from the house , and spent her evening happily with Denis . And so it was for many days after that . Then , at last , Tephany began to notice something , and the something made her very sad . At first , Denis seemed to find the hours that they were together fly as quickly as she did , but when he had taught her all the songs he knew , and told her all the plans he had made for growing rich and a great man , he had nothing more to say to her , for he , like a great many other people , was fond of talking himself , but not of listening to any one else . Sometimes , indeed , he never came at all , and the next evening he would tell Tephany that he had been forced to go into the town on business , but though she never reproached him she was not deceived and saw plainly that he no longer cared for her as he used to do . Day by day her heart grew heavier and her cheeks paler , and one evening , when she had waited for him in vain , she put her water-pot on her shoulder and went slowly down to the spring . On the path in front of her stood the fairy who had given her the pin , and as she glanced at Tephany she gave a little mischievous laugh and said : ` Why , my pretty maiden hardly looks happier than she did before , in spite of meeting her lover whenever she pleases . ' ` He has grown tired of me , ' answered Tephany in a trembling voice , ` and he makes excuses to stay away . Ah ! granny dear , it is not enough to be able to see him , I must be able to amuse him and to keep him with me . He is so clever , you know . Help me to be clever too . ' ` Is that what you want ? ' cried the old woman . ` Well , take this feather and stick it in your hair , and you will be as wise as Solomon himself . ' Blushing with pleasure Tephany went home and stuck the feather into the blue ribbon which girls always wear in that part of the country . In a moment she heard Denis whistling gaily , and as her aunt was safely counting her cabbages , she hurried out to meet him . The young man was struck dumb by her talk . There was nothing that she did not seem to know , and as for songs she not only could sing those from every part of Brittany , but could compose them herself .
Was this really the quiet girl who had been so anxious XXXXX learn all he could teach her , or was it somebody else ?
