But the master said—
"Welcome to the Castle of Song, for none but true musicians find their way here."
And then the child knelt down beside him, and said to him—
"I tried to come, but I could not knock loudly enough."
And the girl said—
"I do not think I tried to come, though the music was so beautiful. Did you send for me?"
The master of the castle smiled, and answered—
"The music brought you."
Then the girl remembered that the boat sailed by music, and as she looked through the open window and saw it sailing away in the distance, she asked—
"Will it bring others, too?"
