'
Of
course
,
'
she
said
,
'
I
am
rather
plain
,
'
and
this
made
Maimie
uncomfortable
,
for
indeed
the
simple
little
creature
was
almost
quite
plain
for
a
fairy
.
202
It
was
difficult
to
know
what
to
reply
.
203
'
I
see
you
think
I
have
no
chance
,
'
Brownie
said
falteringly
.

'
I
do
n't
say
that
,
'
Maimie
answered
politely
;
'
of
course
your
face
is
just
a
tiny
bit
homely
,
but
--
--
'
Really
it
was
quite
awkward
for
her
.
205
Fortunately
she
remembered
about
her
father
and
the
bazaar
.
He
had
gone
to
a
fashionable
bazaar
where
all
the
most
beautiful
ladies
in
London
were
on
view
for
half
a
crown
the
second
day
,
but
on
his
return
home
,
instead
of
being
dissatisfied
with
Maimie
's
mother
,
he
had
said
,
'
You
ca
n't
think
,
my
dear
,
what
a
relief
it
is
to
see
a
homely
face
again
.
'
206
Maimie
repeated
this
story
,
and
it
fortified
Brownie
tremendously
,
indeed
she
had
no
longer
the
slightest
doubt
that
the
Duke
would
choose
her
.
So
she
scudded
away
up
the
ribbon
,
calling
out
to
Maimie
not
to
follow
lest
the
Queen
should
mischief
her
.
207
But
Maimie
's
curiosity
tugged
her
forward
,
and
presently
at
the
seven
Spanish
chestnuts
she
saw
a
wonderful
light
.
She
crept
forward
until
she
was
quite
near
it
,
and
then
she
peeped
from
behind
a
tree
.

The
light
,
which
was
as
high
as
your
head
above
the
ground
,
was
composed
of
myriads
of
glow-worms
all
holding
on
to
each
other
,
and
so
forming
a
dazzling
canopy
over
the
fairy
ring
.
There
were
thousands
of
little
people
looking
on
,
but
they
were
in
shadow
and
drab
in
colour
compared
to
the
glorious
creatures
within
that
luminous
circle
,
who
were
so
bewilderingly
bright
that
Maimie
had
to
wink
hard
all
the
time
she
looked
at
them
.
209
It
was
amazing
and
even
irritating
to
her
that
the
Duke
of
Christmas
Daisies
should
be
able
to
keep
out
of
love
for
a
moment
:
yet
out
of
love
his
dusky
grace
still
was
:
you
could
see
it
by
the
shamed
looks
of
the
Queen
and
court
(
though
they
pretended
not
to
care
)
,
by
the
way
darling
ladies
brought
forward
for
his
approval
burst
into
tears
as
they
were
told
to
pass
on
,
and
by
his
own
most
dreary
face
.

Maimie
could
also
see
the
pompous
doctor
feeling
the
Duke
's
heart
and
hear
him
give
utterance
to
his
parrot
cry
,
and
she
was
particularly
sorry
for
the
Cupids
,
who
stood
in
their
fools
'
caps
in
obscure
places
and
,
every
time
they
heard
that
'
Cold
,
quite
cold
,
'
bowed
their
disgraced
little
heads
.
