said molo : " when she stretched out three fingers , it meant that she is quartered in the third court of the palace . when she turned round her hand three times , it meant the sum of three times five fingers , which is fifteen . when she pointed at the little mirror , she meant to say that on the fifteenth , when the moon is round as a mirror , at midnight , you are to go for her . " then the young man was roused from his confused thoughts , and was so happy he could hardly control himself . but soon he grew sad again and said : " the prince 's palace is shut off as though by an ocean . how would it be possible to win into it ? "
