This made the Princess very happy , and the Queen , who could not bear to see her dressed like a poor shepherdess , touched her with her wand , saying : `` I wish you to be attired as befits your rank and beauty . '' And immediately the Princess 's cotton dress became a magnificent robe of silver brocade embroidered with carbuncles , and her soft dark hair was encircled by a crown of diamonds , from which floated a clear white veil . With her bright eyes , and the charming color in her cheeks , she was altogether such a dazzling sight that the Prince could hardly bear it . `` How pretty you are , Felicia ! '' he cried . `` Do n't keep me in suspense , I entreat you ; say that you will marry me . '' `` Ah ! '' said the Queen , smiling , `` I think she will not refuse now . '' Just then Bruno , who was going back to his work , came out of the cottage , and thought he must be dreaming when he saw Felicia ; but she called him very kindly , and begged the Queen to take pity on him . `` What ! '' she said , `` when he was so unkind to you ? '' `` Ah ! madam , '' said the Princess , `` I am so happy that I should like everybody else to be happy too . '' The Queen kissed her , and said : `` Well , to please you , let me see what I can do for this cross Bruno . '' And with a wave of her wand she turned the poor little cottage into a splendid palace , full of treasures ; only the two stools and the straw bed remained just as they were , to remind him of his former poverty . Then the Queen touched Bruno himself , and made him gentle and polite and grateful , and he thanked her and the Princess a thousand times . Lastly , the Queen restored the hen and the cabbages to their natural forms , and left them all very contented . The Prince and Princess were married as soon as possible with great splendor , and lived happily ever after . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- Fortunee . Par Madame la Comtesse d'Aulnoy .
