• Innkeeper : That's a nice whistle.

  Soldier : I got it off a poor soul down on his luck.

• Innkeeper : These are devlish devils, and gamblers too.

  Soldier : I think I'll take a closer look.

  [leaves] 

  Innkeeper : But that's folly!

  The Storyteller : [narrating]  Folly or not, the soldier goes, sack on his shoulder, whistle on his lips, into the palace.

  The Storyteller : [the Soldier enters the empty palace, whistling]  And inside it's very quiet. As if the walls were holding their breath... and waiting.
