The Red Fairy Book, The Black Thief and Knight of the Glen., sentence 133
The giant called again to the ring, which by the power of enchantment always made him answer; but he, not knowing what I had done, imagined it was still on some part of me, and made a violent leap to seize me, when he went into the pond, over head and ears, and was drowned.
