Turning to ask the Beast what it could all mean , Beauty found that he had disappeared , and in his place stood her long-loved Prince ! At the same moment the wheels of a chariot were heard upon the terrace , and two ladies entered the room . One of them Beauty recognized as the stately lady she had seen in her dreams ; the other was also so grand and queenly that Beauty hardly knew which to greet first . But the one she already knew said to her companion : `` Well , Queen , this is Beauty , who has had the courage to rescue your son from the terrible enchantment . They love one another , and only your consent to their marriage is wanting to make them perfectly happy . '' `` I consent with all my heart , '' cried the Queen . `` How can I ever thank you enough , charming girl , for having restored my dear son to his natural form ? '' And then she tenderly embraced Beauty and the Prince , who had meanwhile been greeting the Fairy and receiving her congratulations . `` Now , '' said the Fairy to Beauty , `` I suppose you would like me to send for all your brothers and sisters to dance at your wedding ? '' And so she did , and the marriage was celebrated the very next day with the utmost splendor , and Beauty and the Prince lived happily ever after . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- La Belle et la Bete . Par Madame de Villeneuve . THE MASTER-MAID Once upon a time there was a king who had many sons . I do not exactly know how many there were , but the youngest of them could not stay quietly at home , and was determined to go out into the world and try his luck , and after a long time the King was forced to give him leave to go . When he had traveled about for several days , he came to a giant 's house , and hired himself to the giant as a servant . In the morning the giant had to go out to pasture his goats , and as he was leaving the house he told the King 's son that he must clean out the stable . `` And after you have done that , '' he said , `` you need not do any more work to-day , for you have come to a kind master , and that you shall find . But what I set you to do must be done both well and thoroughly , and you must on no account go into any of the rooms which lead out of the room in which you slept last night . If you do , I will take your life . '' `` Well to be sure , he is an easy master ! ''
said the XXXXX to himself as he walked up and down the room humming and singing , for he thought there would be plenty of time left to clean out the stable ; `` but it would be amusing to steal a glance into his other rooms as well , '' thought the Prince , `` for there must be something that he is afraid of my seeing , as I am not allowed to enter them .
