"Allanic began to play his straw torch; Fistilou dancing and frolicking, and the two young ladies came running to watch them. They never left their garden, so they had never seen anything like it, and they were very amused by the music of one and the frolics and cries of the other. Their mother, a giantess ten feet tall, also arrived, and they urged her to keep these two men in the castle, to amuse them, since they never went out" this is one of the interesting aspect of the story to me
