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
.
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
.
She
was
disappointed
not
to
see
Peter
Pan
,
and
I
may
as
well
tell
you
now
why
he
was
so
late
that
night
.
It
was
because
his
boat
had
got
wedged
on
the
Serpentine
between
fields
of
floating
ice
,
through
which
he
had
to
break
a
perilous
passage
with
his
trusty
paddle
.
The
fairies
had
as
yet
scarcely
missed
him
,
for
they
could
not
dance
,
so
heavy
were
their
hearts
.
They
forget
all
the
steps
when
they
are
sad
and
remember
them
again
when
they
are
merry
.
David
tells
me
that
fairies
never
say
"
We
feel
happy
"
:
what
they
say
is
,
"
We
feel
dancey
.
"
Well
,
they
were
looking
very
undancey
indeed
,
when
sudden
laughter
broke
out
among
the
onlookers
,
caused
by
Brownie
,
who
had
just
arrived
and
was
insisting
on
her
right
to
be
presented
to
the
Duke
.
Maimie
craned
forward
eagerly
to
see
how
her
friend
fared
,
though
she
had
really
no
hope
;
no
one
seemed
to
have
the
least
hope
except
Brownie
herself
,
who
,
however
,
was
absolutely
confident
.
She
was
led
before
his
grace
,
and
the
doctor
putting
a
finger
carelessly
on
the
ducal
heart
,
which
for
convenience
sake
was
reached
by
a
little
trapdoor
in
his
diamond
shirt
,
had
begun
to
say
mechanically
,
"
Cold
,
qui
--
,
"
when
he
stopped
abruptly
.
"
What
's
this
?
"
he
cried
,
and
first
he
shook
the
heart
like
a
watch
,
and
then
put
his
ear
to
it
.
"
Bless
my
soul
!
"
cried
the
doctor
,
and
by
this
time
of
course
the
excitement
among
the
spectators
was
tremendous
,
fairies
fainting
right
and
left
.
