The next morning the giant took them into the castle-yard, and shewed them the bones and sculls with which it was strewed. “These, said he, were once pilgrims as you are, and they trespassed on my ground; and, when I saw fit, I tore them in pieces, as within ten days I will do you, get you down till then into your dungeon.” So he drove them back, and shut them in. That night, about midnight, they began to pray, and continued in prayer till near break of day. Now, a little before it was day, _Christian_ as in amaze, broke out, “What a fool am I to continue in this noisome dungeon, when I may as well walk at liberty? I have a key in my bosom, called _Promise_, that will, I am persuaded open any lock in _Doubting-castle_.” “That, said _Hopeful_, is good news indeed; pluck it out of thy bosom and try.” Then _Christian_ tried it at the dungeon door, whose bolt (as he turned the key) gave back, and the door flew open with ease. They went next to the outward door that leads into the castle-yard, and, with this key, opened that door also. The iron gate was next: but that lock went very hard. Yet in awhile did the key open it: so they stopped not till they came to the king’s highway, where they were out of the giant’s jurisdiction. Then they went on till they came to the _Delectable Mountains_, where were gardens and orchards, and vineyards, and fountains of water: here they drank and washed themselves, and did freely eat of the fruit of the vineyards. Now there were on the top of these mountains, shepherds feeding their flocks by the way-side. The pilgrims therefore went to them, and asked, whose mountains are these? And whose are the sheep that feed upon them? _Shepherd._ These mountains are _Immanuel_’s land, and they are within sight of his city. And the sheep that feed here are his also, and he laid down his life for them. _Christian._ Is there any relief in this place for pilgrims that are weary and faint in the way? _Shepherd._ The lord of these mountains has given a charge, _not to be forgetful to entertain strangers_: “Therefore the good of the place is before you.” So they took them by the hand, and led them to their tents. After a short refreshment, (it being now late) they all betook them to their rest.
