Then she presented him to the Fairy , and told him how Carabosse had been finally routed , and he thanked and congratulated the Fairy , who was most gracious to him . While they were talking she cried suddenly : ' I declare I smell a savoury dinner . ' ` Why yes , Madam , here it is , ' said Jack-the-Chatterer , holding up the spit , where all the pheasants and partridges were frizzling . ` Will your Highness please to taste any of them ? ' ` By all means , ' said the Fairy , ` especially as the Princess will certainly be glad of a good meal . ' So the Admiral sent back to his ship for everything that was needful , and they feasted merrily under the trees . By the time they had finished the peacock had come back with a robe for the Princess , in which the Fairy arrayed her . It was of green and gold brocade , embroidered with pearls and rubies , and her long golden hair was tied back with strings of diamonds and emeralds , and crowned with flowers . The Fairy made her mount beside her in the golden chariot , and took her on board the Admiral 's ship , where she bade her farewell , sending many messages of friendship to the Queen , and bidding the Princess tell her that she was the fifth Fairy who had attended the christening . Then salutes were fired , the fleet weighed anchor , and very soon they reached the port . Here the King and Queen were waiting , and they received the Princess with such joy and kindness that she could not get a word in edgewise , to say how sorry she was for having run away with such a very poor spirited Ambassador . But , after all , it must have been all Carabosse 's fault . Just at this lucky moment who should arrive but King Merlin 's son , who had become uneasy at not receiving any news from his Ambassador , and so had started himself with a magnificent escort of a thousand horsemen , and thirty body-guards in gold and scarlet uniforms , to see what could have happened . As he was a hundred times handsomer and braver than the Ambassador , the Princess found she could like him very much . So the wedding was held at once , with so much splendour and rejoicing that all the previous misfortunes were quite forgotten . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- La Princesse Printaniere . Par Mme. d'Aulnoy . SORIA MORIA CASTLE THERE was once upon a time a couple of folks who had a son called Halvor . Ever since he had been a little boy he had been unwilling to do any work , and had just sat raking about among the ashes . His parents sent him away to learn several things , but Halvor stayed nowhere , for when he had been gone two or three days he always ran away from his master , hurried off home , and sat down in the chimney corner to grub among the ashes again .
One day , however , a sea captain came and asked XXXXX if he had n't a fancy to come with him and go to sea , and behold foreign lands .
