The wonderful Sheep (26) [The Wonderful Sheep]
The wonderful Sheep (26)
" Ah ! " cried the young Princess, " how unlucky I am to miss the sight of so many pretty things ! Here am I prisoned under the earth, with no company but sheep and shadows, while my sister is to be adorned like a queen and surrounded by all who love and admire her, and everyone but myself can go to wish her joy ! "
" Why do you complain, Princess ? " said the King of the Sheep.
" Did I say that you were not to go to the wedding ? Set out as soon as you please ; only promise me that you will come back, for I love you too much to be able to live without you. "
Miranda was very grateful to him, and promised faithfully that nothing in the world should keep her from coming back.
The King caused an escort suitable to her rank to be got ready for her, and she dressed herself splendidly, not forgetting anything that could make her more beautiful.
Her chariot was of mother-of-peal, drawn by six dun-coloured griffins just brought from the other side of the world, and she was attended by a number of guards in splendid uniforms, who were all at least eight feet high and had come from far and near to ride in the Princess's train.
