The King was very angry indeed when he heard this dream , and frowned horribly ; indeed , he made such an ugly face that everyone knew how angry he was , and he got up and went off to bed in a great hurry ; but he could not forget his daughter 's dream . `` Does the proud girl wish to make me her slave ? '' he said to himself . `` I am not surprised at her choosing to dress herself in white satin without a thought of me . She does not think me worthy of her consideration ! But I will soon put an end to her pretensions ! '' He rose in a fury , and although it was not yet daylight , he sent for the Captain of his Bodyguard , and said to him : `` You have heard the Princess Miranda 's dream ? I consider that it means strange things against me , therefore I order you to take her away into the forest and kill her , and , that I may be sure it is done , you must bring me her heart and her tongue . If you attempt to deceive me you shall be put to death ! '' The Captain of the Guard was very much astonished when he heard this barbarous order , but he did not dare to contradict the King for fear of making him still more angry , or causing him to send someone else , so he answered that he would fetch the Princess and do as the King had said . When he went to her room they would hardly let him in , it was so early , but he said that the King had sent for Miranda , and she got up quickly and came out ; a little black girl called Patypata held up her train , and her pet monkey and her little dog ran after her . The monkey was called Grabugeon , and the little dog Tintin . The Captain of the Guard begged Miranda to come down into the garden where the King was enjoying the fresh air , and when they got there , he pretended to search for him , but as he was not to be found , he said : `` No doubt his Majesty has strolled into the forest , '' and he opened the little door that led to it and they went through . By this time the daylight had begun to appear , and the Princess , looking at her conductor , saw that he had tears in his eyes and seemed too sad to speak . `` What is the matter ? '' she said in the kindest way . `` You seem very sorrowful . '' `` Alas ! Princess , '' he answered , `` who would not be sorrowful who was ordered to do such a terrible thing as I am ? The King has commanded me to kill you here , and carry your heart and your tongue to him , and if I disobey I shall lose my life . ''
The poor XXXXX was terrified , she grew very pale and began to cry softly .
