said she . ' I am called Delicia , if it please you , ' she answered . Then the Fairy threw her arms round the Princess 's neck , and nearly smothered her with kisses , saying : ` Ah , Delicia ! I am a very old friend of yours , and I am truly glad to find you at last ; but you might look nicer than you do in that old gown , which is only fit for a kitchen-maid . Take this pretty dress and let us see the difference it will make . ' So Delicia took off the ugly cap , and shook out all her fair shining hair , and bathed her hands and face in clear water from the nearest spring till her cheeks were like roses , and when she was adorned with the diamonds and the splendid robe the Fairy had given her , she looked the most beautiful Princess in the world , and the Fairy with great delight cried : ` Now you look as you ought to look , Delicia : what do you think about it yourself ? ' And Delicia answered : ' I feel as if I were the daughter of some great king . ' ` And would you be glad if you were ? ' said the Fairy . ` Indeed I should , ' answered she . ` Ah , well , ' said the Fairy , ` to-morrow I may have some pleasant news for you . ' So she hurried back to her castle , where the Queen sat busy with her embroidery , and cried : ` Well , madam ! will you wager your thimble and your golden needle that I am bringing you the best news you could possibly hear ? ' ` Alas ! ' sighed the Queen , ` since the death of the Jolly King and the loss of my Delicia , all the news in the world is not worth a pin to me . ` There , there , do n't be melancholy , ' said the Fairy . ' I assure you the Princess is quite well , and I have never seen her equal for beauty . She might be a Queen to-morrow if she chose ; ` and then she told all that had happened , and the Queen first rejoiced over the thought of Delicia 's beauty , and then wept at the idea of her being a Turkey-maiden . ' I will not hear of her being made to marry the wicked King 's son , ' she said . ` Let us go at once and bring her here . '
In the meantime the wicked Prince , who was very angry with Delicia , had sat himself down under a tree , and cried and howled with rage and spite until the King heard him , and cried out XXXXX the window : ` What is the matter with you , that you are making all this disturbance ? '
