Meanwhile the King , who saw , as he passed , this fine castle of the ogre 's , had a mind to go into it . Puss , who heard the noise of his Majesty 's coach running over the draw-bridge , ran out , and said to the King : `` Your Majesty is welcome to this castle of my Lord Marquis of Carabas . '' `` What ! my Lord Marquis , '' cried the King , `` and does this castle also belong to you ? There can be nothing finer than this court and all the stately buildings which surround it ; let us go into it , if you please . '' The Marquis gave his hand to the Princess , and followed the King , who went first . They passed into a spacious hall , where they found a magnificent collation , which the ogre had prepared for his friends , who were that very day to visit him , but dared not to enter , knowing the King was there . His Majesty was perfectly charmed with the good qualities of my Lord Marquis of Carabas , as was his daughter , who had fallen violently in love with him , and , seeing the vast estate he possessed , said to him , after having drunk five or six glasses : `` It will be owing to yourself only , my Lord Marquis , if you are not my son-in-law . '' The Marquis , making several low bows , accepted the honor which his Majesty conferred upon him , and forthwith , that very same day , married the Princess . Puss became a great lord , and never ran after mice any more but only for his diversion . -LRB- 1 -RRB- -LRB- 1 -RRB- Charles Perrault . FELICIA AND THE POT OF PINKS Once upon a time there was a poor laborer who , feeling that he had not much longer to live , wished to divide his possessions between his son and daughter , whom he loved dearly . So he called them to him , and said : `` Your mother brought me as her dowry two stools and a straw bed ; I have , besides , a hen , a pot of pinks , and a silver ring , which were given me by a noble lady who once lodged in my poor cottage . When she went away she said to me : '' ` Be careful of my gifts , good man ; see that you do not lose the ring or forget to water the pinks . As for your daughter , I promise you that she shall be more beautiful than anyone you ever saw in your life ; call her Felicia , and when she grows up give her the ring and the pot of pinks to console her for her poverty . ' Take them both , then , my dear child , '' he added , `` and your brother shall have everything else . '' The two children seemed quite contented , and when their father died they wept for him , and divided his possessions as he had told them . Felicia believed that her brother loved her , but when she sat down upon one of the stools he said angrily : `` Keep your pot of pinks and your ring , but let my things alone . I like order in my house . '' Felicia , who was very gentle , said nothing , but stood up crying quietly ; while Bruno , for that was her brother 's name , sat comfortably by the fire .
Presently , when supper-time came , Bruno had a delicious egg , and he threw the shell to Felicia , saying : `` There , that is all I can give you ; if you do n't like it , go out and catch frogs ; there are plenty of them in the marsh close XXXXX . ''
