+THE
+
+FAWN IN THE WOOD.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+
+Once upon a time, there lived a King and Queen, who were very
+unhappy, because they had no children. But one day, when the Queen
+was walking out, she saw an immense crab, which said to her, “follow
+me, great Queen, and you shall have your wish.” The Queen was very
+much astonished at being thus addressed by the wonderful crab, and
+for a time hesitated as to what she should do. Her desire to have a
+child of her own, however, was so great, that it overcame her fears
+at last, and she determined to risk everything to gain her end. She
+therefore followed the crab through a secret path, until they reached
+a palace built of diamonds and pearls, in front of which stood six
+lovely fairies, who each presented her with a flower made of gems.
+There was a rose, a tulip, a lily, a pink, a camellia, and a dahlia.
+
+[Illustration: Threat of the Fairy Crab.]
+
+[Illustration: The Princess in her Secret Palace.]
+
+“Madam,” said they, “you will soon have a daughter, whom you must
+call ‘Desired.’ As soon as she is born, summon us by repeating the
+name of each flower, and we will make her a miracle of grace and
+goodness.” The happy Queen returned home, and in due time, a little
+Princess was born. The fairies were sent for, and after kissing the
+infant, they endowed her with wit, beauty, virtue, and every good
+quality they could think of. The grateful Queen was just thanking
+them for their kindness, when there entered a crab, so large that it
+could scarcely get through the door. “Ah, wicked Queen,” it said,
+“you have forgotten the service I rendered you, in guiding you to
+my sisters; you have called _them_, and neglected _me_.” The Queen
+asked her pardon for the oversight, and her sister fairies joined
+their prayers to hers, but in vain. “I will not do _all_ the harm I
+intended,” said the crab, “but I warn you, if the Princess sees the
+light of day before she is fifteen, it will, perhaps, cost her her
+life!” Her parents were much alarmed at this threat, and at length
+determined to build a palace, without windows, and there to keep her
+until she was past the fatal age. This was done, and the Princess
+grew in knowledge and beauty until she was within a few months of
+being fifteen, having never seen any light, except that from wax
+candles which burned night and day. As the time grew near for her
+release, her portrait was painted, and a copy sent to every court in
+the world. All who saw this picture admired it, and many high and
+mighty Princes asked the hand of the young Princess in marriage; but
+_one_ of them fell so deeply in love with her as almost to lose his
+reason. His name was Warrior, and he was the son of a great King,
+whose court was not far from the country of the Princess Desired.
+Prince Warrior begged his father to send an ambassador to the
+Princess, and an eloquent nobleman, called Silvertongue, was selected.
+
+As soon as he arrived at the court of the Princess, he requested to
+see her, but to his great surprise, that favor was denied him. “Do
+not be offended, Lord Silvertongue,” said the King, “at our refusal
+of a request which you are perfectly justified in making,” and he
+then related to the nobleman the whole of the wonderful story.
+Silvertongue then took leave of the King, and returned to his own
+court. Great was the anguish of Prince Warrior when he found that
+he could not see the Princess for three long months--for she still
+lacked that much of being fifteen years old.
+
+The King, his father, was in despair, and Lord Silvertongue was sent
+back at his utmost speed, to assure the parents of Desired that
+Prince Warrior would surely die if they refused him their daughter
+any longer. Now, the Princess had seen Prince Warrior’s portrait,
+and was as much in love as he was; so when her mother went to see
+her, and told her of the illness of the young Prince, she was very
+much affected, and said: “Dearest mother, could not I go in a coach
+so tightly closed that I couldn’t see daylight, and so reach my dear
+Prince Warrior in safety?” The King and Queen were well pleased at
+this idea, and Lord Silvertongue immediately returned with the news
+to Prince Warrior.
+
+A coach was built, lined with pink and gold brocade, but without
+glass windows, and a great nobleman was given charge of it. Then
+the Princess was locked up in the coach, in company with her two
+ladies-in-waiting--Clove-Flower, and Long-Nails--and at once set out,
+with a strong escort, for the court of Prince Warrior.
+
+Now, you must know that Clove-Flower was very fond of her mistress;
+but Long-Nails, who was very much in love with Prince Warrior
+herself, from having seen his picture, was determined to destroy her
+mistress if she could, and try to gain the Prince for herself. So on
+the last day of the journey, when they were near the court of the
+young Prince, Long-Nails suddenly cut open the roof of the coach,
+with a large knife, and for the first time in her life, Princess
+Desired saw the light of day! The moment the light touched her, she
+sprang from the coach with a sad cry, and in the form of a beautiful
+white Fawn, bounded into the forest, and hid herself in a dark and
+gloomy thicket!
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The wicked old Crab-Fairy, who had caused all this, seemed bent upon
+the destruction of the world. The thunder and lightning was so
+terrible; that all the attendants ran away in their fright, except
+Long-Nails and her mother; and Clove-Flower, who ran after the
+Princess. Long-Nails then dressed herself in the Princess’ richest
+clothes and jewels, and followed by her mother, set out for the city,
+and were soon met by the King and his son. But the moment Prince
+Warrior saw her, he fell back with a loud cry: “What do I see?” said
+he. “Sire,” said Long-Nails’ mother boldly; “_this_ is the Princess
+Desired,” (pointing to her wicked daughter,) with letters and
+presents from the King and Queen.
+
+The Prince, with his eyes still fixed upon Long-Nails, who was as
+ugly as Desired was beautiful, cried in a loud voice: “I am betrayed;
+this is not the Princess Desired.” Then waving his hand, two of the
+soldiers seized upon the false Princess and her mother, and locked
+them up in one of the strong castles of the city. Prince Warrior
+was so overcome by the shock, that he determined to leave the court
+secretly; and with no companion but his faithful Silvertongue, spend
+the remainder of his life in exile. They left the court at once, and
+the next day found themselves in a vast forest, where the Prince
+dismounted, while Silvertongue went to look for food.
+
+We must now return to the unhappy Fawn. Clove-Flower, as you know,
+pursued her; and as soon as the Fawn saw her, she ran up eagerly
+and caressed her, while the tears flowed from her lovely eyes.
+Clove-Flower saw at once that the Fawn was her dear mistress. Just
+then the fairy Tulip, who had been at the birth of the Princess,
+and pitied her sad condition, appeared on the scene. Clove-Flower
+entreated the fairy to restore the Princess to her natural form. “I
+cannot do _that_,” said she, “but I can soften her punishment. When
+night comes, she will regain her form, until the morning, when she
+must again roam the fields and forests. Proceed by this path till you
+come to a cottage where you can get food and shelter.”
+
+They followed her directions, and soon found the cottage, where a
+nice old woman gave them an inner room, in which were two pretty
+beds. As soon as night came, Desired ceased to be a Fawn; and they
+lay down in each other’s arms, and slept with many tears. But as soon
+as it was daylight, the Princess became a Fawn once more; and at once
+left the cottage, and fled into the woods. Meanwhile, Silvertongue
+had arrived at the cottage, in search of food, where the old woman
+not only filled a basket for him, but offered them a shelter for the
+night, which he accepted.
+
+The Prince slept badly, and as soon as it was morning, _he_ also went
+out into the wood; and after wandering about sadly for a long time,
+began to feel weary, and lay down under a tree to rest. He soon fell
+asleep, and began to dream of the lost Princess. Just then the White
+Fawn came to the same spot, and as she looked at the sleeping Prince,
+(whom, of course, she knew at once from his picture;) she could not
+help heaving a deep sigh of love and despair! The Prince was awakened
+by the sound, and springing up with surprise, fitted an arrow to his
+bow; and as the frightened Fawn flew swiftly away in the wood, he let
+fly the arrow from the string; which wounded her slightly in the leg,
+and brought her panting and bleeding to the ground.
+
+[Illustration: Prince Warrior Wounding the Fawn.]
+
+[Illustration: The Prince Captures the Fawn.]
+
+The Prince soon came up, and when he saw the look of fear and pain
+in her soft eyes, his heart was moved to pity; and he was sorry
+for what he had done. He caressed her tenderly, and gathering some
+herbs, bound them around her leg; and then making her a soft bed of
+leaves, he went to look for Silvertongue, to assist him in getting
+the Fawn to the cottage. As soon as the Prince was out of sight,
+Clove-Flower, who had been looking for her mistress, came up in great
+distress, and was trying to get the Fawn upon her feet, when the
+Prince and Silvertongue returned, and claimed her as their own. “My
+lord,” said Clove-Flower, “this Fawn belonged to me, before she did
+to you; and I would sooner lose my life than her;” and upon this,
+the Prince at once gave her up to Clove-Flower, and assisted her in
+carrying the Fawn to the cottage.
+
+Silvertongue then told the Prince that he had seen Clove-Flower at
+the court of, and in attendance upon, Desired. The Prince was amazed,
+and to satisfy himself, made a small hole in the wall, and looked
+through. It was now after dark, and the Princess had regained her
+form. She lay on the bed weeping sadly, and saying with many sighs:
+“Alas! must I become a Fawn again, and see him whom I love, without
+being able to speak to him.” This was enough. They knocked gently
+at the door, and in a moment the Prince was at the Princess’ feet,
+declaring his love and devotion. Just then the noise of trumpets was
+heard without, and the King, who was searching for his son, entered
+the cottage.
+
+All this was brought about by the fairy Tulip. _She_ was the old
+woman, and the cottage was _hers_. The Princess was carried to the
+court of Prince Warrior in a close carriage, and kept in darkness
+until she reached the age of fifteen, which was now close at hand.
+The marriage was then celebrated with great splendor, and was
+rendered more brilliant by the presence of the six fairies who
+had presided at her birth; and by the wedding of Silvertongue and
+Clove-Flower, who were married at the same time.

+then took leave of the King, and returned to his own
+court. Great was the anguish of Prince Warrior when
+he found that he could not see the Princess for three long
+months&#x2060;—for she still lacked that much of being fifteen
+years old.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">The King, his father, was in despair, and Lord Silvertongue
+was sent back at his utmost speed, to assure the
+parents of Desired that Prince Warrior would surely die
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_5"></span>if they refused him their daughter any longer. Now, the
+Princess had seen Prince Warrior’s portrait, and was
+as much in love as he was; so when her mother went to
+see her, and told her of the illness of the young Prince,
+she was very much affected, and said: “Dearest mother,
+could not I go in a coach so tightly closed that I couldn’t
+see daylight, and so reach my dear Prince Warrior in
+safety?” The King and Queen were well pleased at this
+idea, and Lord Silvertongue immediately returned with
+the news to Prince Warrior.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">A coach was built, lined with pink and gold brocade,
+but without glass windows, and a great nobleman was
+given charge of it. Then the Princess was locked up in
+the coach, in company with her two ladies-in-waiting&#x2060;—Clove-Flower,
+and Long-Nails&#x2060;—and at once set out, with
+a strong escort, for the court of Prince Warrior.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">Now, you must know that Clove-Flower was very fond
+of her mistress; but Long-Nails, who was very much in
+love with Prince Warrior herself, from having seen his
+picture, was determined to destroy her mistress if she
+could, and try to gain the Prince for herself. So on the
+last day of the journey, when they were near the court
+of the young Prince, Long-Nails suddenly cut open the
+roof of the coach, with a large knife, and for the first
+time in her life, Princess Desired saw the light of day!
+The moment the light touched her, she sprang from the
+coach with a sad cry, and in the form of a beautiful white
+Fawn, bounded into the forest, and hid herself in a dark
+and gloomy thicket!</p>
+
+<figure class="figcenter illowp96" id="i_007-008" style="max-width: 62.5em;">
+ <img class="w100" src="images/i_007-008.jpg" alt="Fawn escapes carriage, centerfold">
+</figure>
+
+<p class="tall">The wicked old Crab-Fairy, who had caused all this,
+seemed bent upon the destruction of the world. The
+<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_6"></a><a id="Page_7"></a><a id="Page_8"></a></span>thunder and lightning was so terrible; that all the attendants
+ran away in their fright, except Long-Nails and her
+mother; and Clove-Flower, who ran after the Princess.
+Long-Nails then dressed herself in the Princess’ richest
+clothes and jewels, and followed by her mother, set out
+for the city, and were soon met by the King and his son.
+But the moment Prince Warrior saw her, he fell back
+with a loud cry: “What do I see?” said he. “Sire,”
+said Long-Nails’ mother boldly; “<em>this</em> is the Princess
+Desired,” (pointing to her wicked daughter,) with letters
+and presents from the King and Queen.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">The Prince, with his eyes still fixed upon Long-Nails,
+who was as ugly as Desired was beautiful, cried in a loud
+voice: “I am betrayed; this is not the Princess Desired.”
+Then waving his hand, two of the soldiers seized upon
+the false Princess and her mother, and locked them up
+in one of the strong castles of the city. Prince Warrior
+was so overcome by the shock, that he determined to
+leave the court secretly; and with no companion but his
+faithful Silvertongue, <a id=“chg2”></a>spend the remainder of his life in
+exile. They left the court at once, and the next day
+found themselves in a vast forest, where the Prince dismounted,
+while Silvertongue went to look for food.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">We must now return to the unhappy Fawn. Clove-Flower,
+as you know, pursued her; and as soon as the
+Fawn saw her, she ran up eagerly and caressed her, while
+the tears flowed from her lovely eyes. Clove-Flower saw
+at once that the Fawn was her dear mistress. Just then
+the fairy Tulip, who had been at the birth of the Princess,
+and pitied her sad condition, appeared on the scene.
+Clove-Flower entreated the fairy to restore the Princess to
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_9"></span>her natural form. “I cannot do <em>that</em>,” said she, “but I can
+soften her punishment. When night comes, she will
+regain her form, until the morning, when she must again
+roam the fields and forests. Proceed by this path till you
+come to a cottage where you can get food and shelter.”</p>
+
+<p class="tall">They followed her directions, and soon found the
+cottage, where a nice old woman gave them an inner
+room, in which were two pretty beds. As soon as night
+came, Desired ceased to be a Fawn; and they lay down
+in each other’s arms, and slept with many tears. But as
+soon as it was daylight, the Princess became a Fawn
+once more; and at once left the cottage, and fled into the
+woods. Meanwhile, Silvertongue had arrived at the
+cottage, in search of food, <a id=“chg3”></a>where the old woman not
+only filled a basket for him, but offered them a shelter
+for the night, which he accepted.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">The Prince slept badly, and as soon as it was morning,
+<em>he</em> also went out into the wood; and after wandering about
+sadly for a long time, began to feel weary, and lay down
+under a tree to rest. He soon fell asleep, and began to
+dream of the lost Princess. Just then the White Fawn
+came to the same spot, and as she looked at the sleeping
+Prince, (whom, of course, she knew at once from his
+picture;) she could not help heaving a deep sigh of love
+and despair! The Prince was awakened by the sound, and
+springing up with surprise, fitted an arrow to his bow;
+and as the frightened Fawn flew swiftly away in the
+wood, he let fly the arrow from the string; which wounded
+her slightly in the leg, and brought her panting and
+bleeding to the ground.</p>

+</figure>
+
+<p class="tall">The Prince soon came up, and when he saw the look
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_10"></span>of fear and pain in her soft eyes, his heart was moved
+to pity; and he was sorry for what he had done. He
+caressed her tenderly, and gathering some herbs, bound
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_11"></span>them around her leg; and then making her a soft bed
+of leaves, he went to look for Silvertongue, to assist
+him in getting the Fawn to the cottage. As soon as
+<span class="pagenum" id="Page_12"></span>the Prince was out of sight, Clove-Flower, who had
+been looking for her mistress, came up in great distress,
+and was trying to get the Fawn upon her feet, when the
+Prince and Silvertongue returned, and claimed her as
+their own. “My lord,” said Clove-Flower, “this Fawn
+belonged to me, before she did to you; and I would
+sooner lose my life than her;” and upon this, the Prince
+at once gave her up to Clove-Flower, and assisted her in
+carrying the Fawn to the cottage.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">Silvertongue then told the Prince that he had seen
+Clove-Flower at the court of, and in attendance upon,
+Desired. The Prince was amazed, and to satisfy himself,
+made a small hole in the wall, and looked through. It
+was now after dark, and the Princess had regained her
+form. She lay on the bed weeping sadly, and saying
+with many sighs: “Alas! must I become a Fawn again,
+and see him whom I love, without being able to speak
+to him.” This was enough. They knocked gently at the
+door, and in a moment the Prince was at the Princess’
+feet, declaring his love and devotion. Just then the noise
+of trumpets was heard without, and the King, who was
+searching for his son, entered the cottage.</p>
+
+<p class="tall">All this was brought about by the fairy Tulip. <em>She</em> was
+the old woman, and the cottage was <em>hers</em>. The Princess was
+carried to the court of Prince Warrior in a close carriage,
+and kept in darkness until she reached the age of fifteen,
+which was now close at hand. The marriage was then
+celebrated with great splendor, and was rendered more
+brilliant by the presence of the six fairies who had presided
+at her birth; and by the wedding of Silvertongue
+and Clove-Flower, who were married at the same time.</p>
