help ! I am pursued by rats . ' The Prince when he heard this got up also , and ran after the King , and they had not gone far when they both fell into the river and were never heard of again . Then the good Fairy ran to tell the Queen , and they went together to the black dungeon where Delicia was imprisoned . The Fairy touched each door with her wand , and it sprang open instantly , but they had to go through forty before they came to the Princess , who was sitting on the floor looking very dejected . But when the Queen rushed in , and kissed her twenty times in a minute , and laughed , and cried , and told Delicia all her history , the Princess was wild with delight . Then the Fairy showed her all the wonderful dresses and jewels she had brought for her , and said : ` Do n't let us waste time ; we must go and harangue the people . ' So she walked first , looking very serious and dignified , and wearing a dress the train of which was at least ten ells long . Behind her came the Queen wearing a blue velvet robe embroidered with gold , and a diamond crown that was brighter than the sun itself . Last of all walked Delicia , who was so beautiful that it was nothing short of marvellous . They proceeded through the streets , returning the salutations of all they met , great or small , and all the people turned and followed them , wondering who these noble ladies could be . When the audience hall was quite full , the Fairy said to the subjects of the Wicked King that if they would accept Delicia , who was the daughter of the Jolly King , as their Queen , she would undertake to find a suitable husband for her , and would promise that during their reign there should be nothing but rejoicing and merry-making , and all dismal things should be entirely banished . Upon this the people cried with one accord , ` We will , we will ! we have been gloomy and miserable too long already . ' And they all took hands and danced round the Queen , and Delicia , and the good Fairy , singing : ` Yes , yes ; we will , we will ! ' Then there were feasts and fireworks in every street in the town , and early the next morning the Fairy , who had been all over the world in the night , brought back with her , in her flying chariot , the most handsome and good-tempered Prince she could find anywhere . He was so charming that Delicia loved him from the moment their eyes met , and as for him , of course he could not help thinking himself the luckiest Prince in the world . The Queen felt that she had really come to the end of her misfortunes at last , and they all lived happily ever after . -LRB- 10 -RRB- -LRB- 10 -RRB- La bonne vetite Souris ' par Madame d'Aulnoy .
