Chapter XVIII
Meanwhile Athalwin had already reached his father and climbed up his knee, clinging to his foot. The rider lifted him up with a loving hand, set him before him in the saddle, and spurred his horse into a gallop. The noble animal, once the charger of Theodoric, neighed lustily as he recognised his home and his mistress, and shook his flowing mane. The rider now reached the hill, and dismounted with the boy. "My dear wife!" he exclaimed, embracing her tenderly.
