When Grandmarina had drunk her love to the young couple, and Prince Certainpersonio had made a speech, and everybody had cried, Hip, hip, hip, hurrah! Grandmarina announced to the king and queen that in future there would be eight quarter-days in every year, except in leap-year, when there would be ten.
Prince Certainpersonio was sitting by himself, eating barley-sugar, and waiting to be ninety. When he saw the peacocks, followed by the carriage, coming in at the window it immediately occurred to him that something uncommon was going to happen.
Then Grandmarina begged to be introduced to the duchess; and, when the duchess was brought down, many compliments passed between them. A little whispering took place between the fairy and the duchess; and then the fairy said out loud, 'Yes, I thought she would have told you. Grandmarina then turned to the king and queen, and said, 'We are going in search of Prince Certainpersonio.
She then turned to Certainpersonio and Alicia, and said, 'My dears, you will have thirty-five children, and they will all be good and beautiful. Seventeen of your children will be boys, and eighteen will be girls. The hair of the whole of your children will curl naturally. They will never have the measles, and will have recovered from the whooping-cough before being born.
