Howbeit presently she came to herself
again, and fell to asking many questions concerning Silver-dale and
the kindred, and those who had once been thralls of the Dusky Men;
and they answered all duly, and told her the whole story of the Dale
since the Day of the Victory.
So Bow-may and the carles who had come with her abode for that half-
month in Silver-dale, guested in all love by the folk thereof, both
the kindreds and the poor folk. And Bow-may deemed that the Bride
loved Face-of-god's child little less than her own, whereof she had
two, a man and a woman; and thereat was she full of joy, since she
knew that Face-of-god and the Sun-beam would be fain thereof.
Thereafter, when the time was come, fared Folk-might and the Bride,
and many of the elders and warriors of the Wolf and the Woodland, to
Shadowy Vale; and Dallach and the best of Rose-dale went with them,
being so bidden; and Bow-may and her following, according to the word
of the Bride. And in Shadowy Vale they met Face-of-god and Alderman
Iron-face, and the chiefs of Burgdale and the Shepherds, and many
others; and great joy there was at the meeting.
