"And I am servant to all", said the boy. "I will not be leaving your side during your time here. But I can see that you are getting tired and we shall return to the house for you to rest for a while. " And I was feeling tired again. I really didn't have the energy or presence of mind to form any questions, but I could see I was in a truly beautiful place . Then I asked if he could take me on a tour of the gardens. The boy answered, "First you must rest, then you will eat something for lunch, After that I will take you to the gardens. The four of us walked back to the house together. The old couple saw us to the bottom of the stairs, which was a super huge and elegantly carved wonder of polished wood, oak I think. The old couple each held me in a warm embrace. Then the boy led me up the stairs and then up another flight of stairs and along various corridors till we arrived at my room. I took off my shoes and climbed onto the bed, and he sat down in the armchair, from where he would watch over me.
