ABSTRACT
Then the Blessed Mother had the king’s wife come out from hiding and made peace between them all. She didn’t forget that the valet deserved to be punished and rebuked him strongly. His penalty was banishment from the royal house. Then the king and queen looked around for the stranger, but she had vanished without a trace. They were wonderstruck at what had happened, but went away with their happiness restored, and they loved one another until the end of their days. Collected in Polizzi-Generosa by Vincenzo Gialongo.
