Everybody
stared
breathlessly
at
the
Duke
,
who
was
very
much
startled
and
looked
as
if
he
would
like
to
run
away
.
"
Good
gracious
me
!
"
the
doctor
was
heard
muttering
,
and
now
the
heart
was
evidently
on
fire
,
for
he
had
to
jerk
his
fingers
away
from
it
and
put
them
in
his
mouth
.
The
suspense
was
awful
!
Then
in
a
loud
voice
,
and
bowing
low
,
"
My
Lord
Duke
,
"
said
the
physician
elatedly
,
"
I
have
the
honour
to
inform
your
excellency
that
your
grace
is
in
love
.
"
You
ca
n't
conceive
the
effect
of
it
.
Brownie
held
out
her
arms
to
the
Duke
and
he
flung
himself
into
them
,
the
Queen
leapt
into
the
arms
of
the
Lord
Chamberlain
,
and
the
ladies
of
the
court
leapt
into
the
arms
of
her
gentlemen
,
for
it
is
etiquette
to
follow
her
example
in
everything
.
Thus
in
a
single
moment
about
fifty
marriages
took
place
,
for
if
you
leap
into
each
other
's
arms
it
is
a
fairy
wedding
.
Of
course
a
clergyman
has
to
be
present
.
How
the
crowd
cheered
and
leapt
!
Trumpets
brayed
,
the
moon
came
out
,
and
immediately
a
thousand
couples
seized
hold
of
its
rays
as
if
they
were
ribbons
in
a
May
dance
and
waltzed
in
wild
abandon
round
the
fairy
ring
.
Most
gladsome
sight
of
all
,
the
Cupids
plucked
the
hated
fools
'
caps
from
their
heads
and
cast
them
high
in
the
air
.
And
then
Maimie
went
and
spoiled
everything
.
She
could
n't
help
it
.
She
was
crazy
with
delight
over
her
little
friend
's
good
fortune
,
so
she
took
several
steps
forward
and
cried
in
an
ecstasy
,
"
Oh
,
Brownie
,
how
splendid
!
"
Everybody
stood
still
,
the
music
ceased
,
the
lights
went
out
,
and
all
in
the
time
you
may
take
to
say
"
Oh
dear
!
"
An
awful
sense
of
her
peril
came
upon
Maimie
,
too
late
she
remembered
that
she
was
a
lost
child
in
a
place
where
no
human
must
be
between
the
locking
and
the
opening
of
the
gates
,
she
heard
the
murmur
of
an
angry
multitude
,
she
saw
a
thousand
swords
flashing
for
her
blood
,
and
she
uttered
a
cry
of
terror
and
fled
.
How
she
ran
!
and
all
the
time
her
eyes
were
starting
out
of
her
head
.
Many
times
she
lay
down
,
and
then
quickly
jumped
up
and
ran
on
again
.
Her
little
mind
was
so
entangled
in
terrors
that
she
no
longer
knew
she
was
in
the
Gardens
.
The
one
thing
she
was
sure
of
was
that
she
must
never
cease
to
run
,
and
she
thought
she
was
still
running
long
after
she
had
dropped
in
the
Figs
and
gone
to
sleep
.
She
thought
the
snowflakes
falling
on
her
face
were
her
mother
kissing
her
good-night
.
She
thought
her
coverlet
of
snow
was
a
warm
blanket
,
and
tried
to
pull
it
over
her
head
.
And
when
she
heard
talking
through
her
dreams
she
thought
it
was
mother
bringing
father
to
the
nursery
door
to
look
at
her
as
she
slept
.
But
it
was
the
fairies
.
I
am
very
glad
to
be
able
to
say
that
they
no
longer
desired
to
mischief
her
.
When
she
rushed
away
they
had
rent
the
air
with
such
cries
as
"
Slay
her
!
"
"
Turn
her
into
something
extremely
unpleasant
!
"
and
so
on
,
but
the
pursuit
was
delayed
while
they
discussed
who
should
march
in
front
,
and
this
gave
Duchess
Brownie
time
to
cast
herself
before
the
Queen
and
demand
a
boon
.
Every
bride
has
a
right
to
a
boon
,
and
what
she
asked
for
was
Maimie
's
life
.
"
Anything
except
that
,
"
replied
Queen
Mab
sternly
,
and
all
the
fairies
chanted
"
Anything
except
that
.
"
But
when
they
learned
how
Maimie
had
befriended
Brownie
and
so
enabled
her
to
attend
the
ball
to
their
great
glory
and
renown
,
they
gave
three
huzzas
for
the
little
human
,
and
set
off
,
like
an
army
,
to
thank
her
,
the
court
advancing
in
front
and
the
canopy
keeping
step
with
it
.
They
traced
Maimie
easily
by
her
footprints
in
the
snow
.
But
though
they
found
her
deep
in
snow
in
the
Figs
,
it
seemed
impossible
to
thank
Maimie
,
for
they
could
not
waken
her
.
They
went
through
the
form
of
thanking
her
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
new
King
stood
on
her
body
and
read
her
a
long
address
of
welcome
,
but
she
heard
not
a
word
of
it
.
They
also
cleared
the
snow
off
her
,
but
soon
she
was
covered
again
,
and
they
saw
she
was
in
danger
of
perishing
of
cold
.
