Queen , '' said he , `` I know you very well , and I know how much afraid you are of the lions ; and you are quite right too , for they have eaten many other people : and what can you expect , as you have not any cake to give them ? '' `` I must make up my mind to die , '' said the poor Queen . `` Alas ! I should not care so much if only my dear daughter were married . '' `` Oh ! you have a daughter , '' cried the Yellow Dwarf -LRB- who was so called because he was a dwarf and had such a yellow face , and lived in the orange tree -RRB- . `` I 'm really glad to hear that , for I 've been looking for a wife all over the world . Now , if you will promise that she shall marry me , not one of the lions , tigers , or bears shall touch you . '' The Queen looked at him and was almost as much afraid of his ugly little face as she had been of the lions before , so that she could not speak a word . `` What ! you hesitate , madam , '' cried the Dwarf . `` You must be very fond of being eaten up alive . '' And , as he spoke , the Queen saw the lions , which were running down a hill toward them . Each one had two heads , eight feet , and four rows of teeth , and their skins were as hard as turtle shells , and were bright red . At this dreadful sight , the poor Queen , who was trembling like a dove when it sees a hawk , cried out as loud as she could , `` Oh ! dear Mr. Dwarf , Bellissima shall marry you . '' `` Oh , indeed ! '' said he disdainfully . `` Bellissima is pretty enough , but I do n't particularly want to marry her -- you can keep her . '' `` Oh !
noble sir , '' said the XXXXX in great distress , `` do not refuse her .
