Some day, when you are older, I'll tell you about it. I has the Princess Hedwig been having tea with you, as usual?" Carelessly spoken as it was, there was a change in Nikky's voice. And the Crown Prince was sensitive to voices. Something similar happened to Monsieur Puaux, the French tutor, when he mentioned Hedwig. "Not yesterday. We went to the fortress. Nikky, what is it to be in love?"
And afterwards when she saw the prince so young and so strong and so handsome, her heart burned for him as with a flame, and she was not ashamed; the wicked, wicked princess, she didn't know.

When he had finished that business it was already too late to go anywhere but still too early to go to bed, and for a long time he paced up and down the room, reflecting on his life, a thing he rarely did.
