They
were
now
loth
to
let
her
go
,
for
,
'
If
the
fairies
see
you
,
'
they
warned
her
,
'
they
will
mischief
you
--
stab
you
to
death
,
or
compel
you
to
nurse
their
children
,
or
turn
you
into
something
tedious
,
like
an
evergreen
oak
.
'
As
they
said
this
they
looked
with
affected
pity
at
an
evergreen
oak
,
for
in
winter
they
are
very
envious
of
the
evergreens
.
'
Oh
,
la
!
'
replied
the
oak
bitingly
,
'
how
deliciously
cosy
it
is
to
stand
here
buttoned
to
the
neck
and
watch
you
poor
naked
creatures
shivering
.
'
This
made
them
sulky
,
though
they
had
really
brought
it
on
themselves
,
and
they
drew
for
Maimie
a
very
gloomy
picture
of
the
perils
that
would
face
her
if
she
insisted
on
going
to
the
ball
.
She
learned
from
a
purple
filbert
that
the
court
was
not
in
its
usual
good
temper
at
present
,
the
cause
being
the
tantalising
heart
of
the
Duke
of
Christmas
Daisies
.
He
was
an
Oriental
fairy
,
very
poorly
of
a
dreadful
complaint
,
namely
,
inability
to
love
,
and
though
he
had
tried
many
ladies
in
many
lands
he
could
not
fall
in
love
with
one
of
them
.
Queen
Mab
,
who
rules
in
the
Gardens
,
had
been
confident
that
her
girls
would
bewitch
him
,
but
alas
!
his
heart
,
the
doctor
said
,
remained
cold
.
This
rather
irritating
doctor
,
who
was
his
private
physician
,
felt
the
Duke
's
heart
immediately
after
any
lady
was
presented
,
and
then
always
shook
his
bald
head
and
murmured
,
'
Cold
,
quite
cold
.
'
Naturally
Queen
Mab
felt
disgraced
,
and
first
she
tried
the
effect
of
ordering
the
court
into
tears
for
nine
minutes
,
and
then
she
blamed
the
Cupids
and
decreed
that
they
should
wear
fools
'
caps
until
they
thawed
the
Duke
's
frozen
heart
.
'
How
I
should
love
to
see
the
Cupids
in
their
dear
little
fools
'
caps
!
'
Maimie
cried
,
and
away
she
ran
to
look
for
them
very
recklessly
,
for
the
Cupids
hate
to
be
laughed
at
.
It
is
always
easy
to
discover
where
a
fairies
'
ball
is
being
held
,
as
ribbons
are
stretched
between
it
and
all
the
populous
parts
of
the
Gardens
,
on
which
those
invited
may
walk
to
the
dance
without
wetting
their
pumps
.
This
night
the
ribbons
were
red
,
and
looked
very
pretty
on
the
snow
.
Maimie
walked
alongside
one
of
them
for
some
distance
without
meeting
anybody
,
but
at
last
she
saw
a
fairy
cavalcade
approaching
.
To
her
surprise
they
seemed
to
be
returning
from
the
ball
,
and
she
had
just
time
to
hide
from
them
by
bending
her
knees
and
holding
out
her
arms
and
pretending
to
be
a
garden
chair
.
There
were
six
horsemen
in
front
and
six
behind
;
in
the
middle
walked
a
prim
lady
wearing
a
long
train
held
up
by
two
pages
,
and
on
the
train
,
as
if
it
were
a
couch
,
reclined
a
lovely
girl
,
for
in
this
way
do
aristocratic
fairies
travel
about
.
She
was
dressed
in
golden
rain
,
but
the
most
enviable
part
of
her
was
her
neck
,
which
was
blue
in
colour
and
of
a
velvet
texture
,
and
of
course
showed
off
her
diamond
necklace
as
no
white
throat
could
have
glorified
it
.
The
high-born
fairies
obtain
this
admired
effect
by
pricking
their
skin
,
which
lets
the
blue
blood
come
through
and
dye
them
,
and
you
can
not
imagine
anything
so
dazzling
unless
you
have
seen
the
ladies
'
busts
in
the
jewellers
'
windows
.
Maimie
also
noticed
that
the
whole
cavalcade
seemed
to
be
in
a
passion
,
tilting
their
noses
higher
than
it
can
be
safe
for
even
fairies
to
tilt
them
,
and
she
concluded
that
this
must
be
another
case
in
which
the
doctor
had
said
'
Cold
,
quite
cold
.
'
Well
,
she
followed
the
ribbon
to
a
place
where
it
became
a
bridge
over
a
dry
puddle
into
which
another
fairy
had
fallen
and
been
unable
to
climb
out
.
At
first
this
little
damsel
was
afraid
of
Maimie
,
who
most
kindly
went
to
her
aid
,
but
soon
she
sat
in
her
hand
chatting
gaily
and
explaining
that
her
name
was
Brownie
,
and
that
though
only
a
poor
street
singer
she
was
on
her
way
to
the
ball
to
see
if
the
Duke
would
have
her
.
