" ** I do not know, sir," she said, sadly ; " but I am so wretched that I have no longer the strength to keep my secret from you ; and, although it ill becomes my modesty, I must confess to you that you are the only one I wish for a husband." ** Husband ! " said the prince, bursting out laughing, ** husband, little one ! Well, that is delightful ! but all the same, I trust, you will excuse me if I do not accept your proposal, for, to tell the truth, in our persons, our appearance, and our manne...rs, we are not exactly a match." ** I agree with you," she said, ** especially since our hearts are not alike. For a long while I have seen that you are ungrateful, and I am extremely foolish to love a prince who so little deserves it." " But, Babiole," said he, ** think of the trouble I should be in to see you perched on the top of a sycamore, holding on to a branch by the end of your tail.
