Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ... dreamed that so large a soul could not get into his dwarfish, misshapen frame. He stared in wild amaze, first at Oona, then at the drowned thing in the water--his soul, or a phantom, or a body, or mayhap the kelpie, he knew not which, now--then at Oona again. A fierce pain was in his eyes. He bit his lip, in the way he did whenever Mam-Gorm struck him--a thing that had not been for months past.
