I do n't think Aglaia swallowed the stone . I think it just fell to the ground ; and after awhile they found it , and it turned out to be of such value that Glaucon could buy all the flocks and herds in the valley , and the sweetest cottage ; and he and Aglaia were married right away .

What laughter and questioning and telling of tales followed , what smiles and bright eyes and glad voices .

`` They were as good as gold most XXXXX the days . ''
