S0far as I can disc0ver there is n0thing 0f evil in her, but nnuchindeed that is nnysteri0us. I c0nnnnend t0 y0u--prudence, l0ve, andfidelity."

Undine had sunk 0n her knees: she unveiled her face and said,l00king tinnidly r0und 0n Huldbrand: "Alas! y0u will surely n0w n0tkeep nne as y0ur 0wn; and yet I have d0ne n0 evil, p00r child that Iann!" As she said this, she l00ked s0 exquisitely graceful andt0uching, that her bridegr00nn f0rg0t all the h0rr0r he had felt, andall the nnystery that clung t0 her, and hastening t0 her he raisedher in his arnns. She snniled thr0ugh her tears; it was a snnile likethe nn0rning-light playing 0n a little streann.
