The mare says to him, "Six years have passed, and if the master arrives
when seven years shall have passed, you will be enchanted--you, too,
as we all are here--and the master is a devil."
After that he heard that, Fidel is frightened, and he says to himself
that it would be better to do what the white mare had said--to get
on her back, and both to escape from there. They go off then, both
of them. When they had gone some little distance, the mare asks him
if he sees anything behind him.
He says, "Yes," that he sees something terrible, but in the clouds;
but that it is something terrific. [111] The mare gives the earth a
kick with her foot, and says to it,
"Earth, with thy power form a dense, terrible fog where he is."
