said the King angrily , `` was that all you thought of , vain child ? '' `` I thought you would be pleased with me , '' said the Princess ; `` that was all . '' The King , who loved her , was satisfied with this , and even pretended to be pleased that she had not told him all her reasons at first . `` And now , '' said he , `` as I have supped well , and it is not time yet to go to bed , tell me what you dreamed last night . '' The eldest said she had dreamed that he brought her a dress , and the precious stones and gold embroidery on it were brighter than the sun . The dream of the second was that the King had brought her a spinning wheel and a distaff , that she might spin him some shirts . But the youngest said : `` I dreamed that my second sister was to be married , and on her wedding-day , you , father , held a golden ewer and said : ` Come , Miranda , and I will hold the water that you may dip your hands in it . ' '' 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 XXXXX appear , and the Princess , looking at her conductor , saw that he had tears in his eyes and seemed too sad to speak .
