About the Book
The four children were lying on the grass. ... and the Prince went further and further into the forest, said the elder girl, till he came to a beautiful glade—a glade, you know, is a place in the forest that is open and green and lovely. And there he saw a lady, a beautiful lady, in a long white dress that hung down to her ankles, with a golden belt and a golden crown. She was lying on the sward—a sward, you know, is grass as smooth as velvet, just like green velvet—and the Prince saw the marks of travel on her garments. The bottom of the lovely silk dress was all dirty—— Wondrous Fair, if you dont mind youll make that sheet dirty, too, said Pin. Shut up, will you! answered her sister who, carried away by her narrative, had approached her boots to some linen that was bleaching. Yes, but you know Sarahll be awfly cross if she has to wash it again, said Pin, who was practical. Youll put me out altogether, cried Laura angrily.—Well, as I said, the edge of her robe was all muddy—no, I dont think I will say that; it sounds prettier if its clean. So it hung in long, straight beautiful folds to her ankles, and the Prince saw two little feet in golden sandals peeping out from under the hem of the silken gown, and—— But what about the marks of travel? asked Leppie. Donkey! havent I said they werent there? If I say they werent, then they werent. She hadnt travelled at all. Oh, parrakeets! cried little Frank. Four pairs of eyes went up to the bright green flock that was passing over the garden. Now youve all interrupted, and I shant tell any more, said Laura in a proud voice. Oh, yes, please do, Wondrous Fair! Tell what happened next, begged Pin and Leppie. No, not another word. You can only think of sheets and parrakeets. Please, Wondrous Fair, begged little Frank. No, I cant now.—Another thing: I dont mind if you call me Laura to-day, as its the last day. She lay back on the grass, her hands clasped under her head. A voice was heard, loud, imperative. Laura, I want you. Come here. Thats mother calling, said Pin. Laura kicked her heels. The two little boys laughed approval. Go on, Laura, coaxed Pin. Motherll be angry. Ill come, too. Laura raised herself with a grumble. Its to try on that horrid dress. In very fact Mother was standing, already somewhat impatient, with the dress in her hand. Laura wriggled out of the one she had on, and stood stiffly and ungraciously, with her arms held like pokers from her sides, while Mother on her knees arranged the length. Dont put on a face like that, miss! she said sharply on seeing Lauras air. Do you think Im making it for my own pleasure? She had sewn at it all day, and was hot and tired. Its too short, said Laura, looking down. Its nothing of the kind, said Mother, with her mouth full of pins. It is, its much too short. Mother gave her a slight shake. Dont you contradict ME! Do you want to tell me I dont know what length youre to wear your dresses? I wont wear it at all if you dont make it longer, said Laura defiantly.... About the Author
