and clean, but much enlivened and strengthened. And they looked fairer and much more beautiful than they had ever looked before.
Then the Interpreter bade his servants give them new clothing, fine linen, white and clean. And when they were clad in these garments they stood amazed, each looking at the others and wondering because of their beauty.
Finally, the Interpreter called for a man-servant of his whose name was Greatheart.
"Greatheart," said he, "arm yourself with sword and shield. Put on your helmet and your coat of mail. Then go forth with these my daughters and these noble boys, and protect them on their way. Lead them to the House Beautiful, which will be their next resting place."
So Greatheart took his weapons and went out before them. The Interpreter bade them Godspeed, and they went on their way rejoicing.
