Everything fell out exactly as the woman had hoped . By the aid of her magic mirror the witch beheld the new princess walking in her gardens in a dress of green silk , and in a few minutes had produced a mask so like her , that very few people could have told the difference . However , she counselled the woman that when her daughter first wore it -- for that , of course , was what she intended her to do -- she had better pretend that she had a toothache , and cover her head with a lace veil . The woman thanked her and paid her well , and returned to her hut , carrying the mask under her cloak . In a few days she heard that a great hunt was planned , and the prince would leave the palace very early in the morning , so that his wife would be alone all day . This was a chance not to be missed , and taking her daughter with her she went up to the palace , where she had never been before . The princess was too happy in her new home to remember all that she had suffered in the old one , and she welcomed them both gladly , and gave them quantities of beautiful things to take back with them . At last she took them down to the shore to see a pleasure boat which her husband had had made for her ; and here , the woman seizing her opportunity , stole softly behind the girl and pushed her off the rock on which she was standing , into the deep water , where she instantly sank to the bottom . Then she fastened the mask on her daughter , flung over her shoulders a velvet cloak , which the princess had let fall , and finally arranged a lace veil over her head . ` Rest your cheek on your hand , as if you were in pain , when the prince returns , ' said the mother ; ` and be careful not to speak , whatever you do . I will go back to the witch and see if she can not take off the spell laid on you by those horrible birds . Ah ! why did I not think of it before ! ' No sooner had the prince entered the palace than he hastened to the princess 's apartments , where he found her lying on the sofa apparently in great pain . ` My dearest wife , what is the matter with you ? ' he cried , kneeling down beside her , and trying to take her hand ; but she snatched it away , and pointing to her cheek murmured something he could not catch . ` What is it ? tell me ! Is the pain bad ? When did it begin ?
