to the Fairy Prince,
so I suppose we- shall always be near
each other now.
There
was the way out of the little room with millions of changing
colours, ever so beautiful, and it was
lined with armed men, waving
their swords for joy like flashes

lives in

very, very old nowadays;
I am practically
Regent
of course.
You
must never forget that I am really He; only
one generation back is
not so far, and I entirely represent his thought.
Soon," he whispered
ever so softly, “you will be a mother;
there will be a Fairy Prince
again to run away with another pretty little Sleepy head. Then I saw
