Neiud, kes olid vette kümblema roninud, kiljatasid möldrit nähes, nagu hüüab marjavõrku kinni jäänud lind, ja haaranud oma sulerüüd, kadusid neid selga tõmmates öötaevasse. Ainult üks värisev, ihualasti neiuke jäi jõekaldale maha, sest tema kasukas oli möldri käes. Nüüd läks lugu edasi nagu muinasjutus ikka, ja ma ei oska siiani arvata, kas kõik ikka tõesti oli nii, nagu Erika seda mulle oma haigevoodil jutustas, või läks tema palavikust küpsenud ajus segamini mõni loetud või vanaema käest kuuldud ennemuistne jutt ning tõsielu.
