'That depends upon yourself, answered the Fairy. 'If you do not, like Adam, allow yourself to be tempted to do what is forbidden, you can stay here always. 'I will not touch the apples on the Tree of Knowledge, said the Prince. 'There are thousands of other fruits here as beautiful. 'Test yourself, and if you are not strong enough, go back with the Eastwind who brought you.
He passes his winters in New York and his summers in the Nutter House, which threatens to prove a hard nut for the destructive gentleman with the scythe and the hour-glass, for the seaward gable has not yielded a clapboard to the eastwind these twenty years.
Towards evening the large towns were amusing as it grew dark, with all their lights twinkling now here, now there, just as when one burns a piece of paper and sees all the little sparks like children coming home from school.

What else could the poor old chap do but fake up an answer fit for publication? There were whispers about it; but nobody believed them. I believe them now. THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. Oh, I cannot admit that Sir Fuller Eastwind was capable of such a fraud. THE ENVOY. He was capable of anything: I knew his private secretary. And now what are we going to say?
