At table the young prince Charmant, who was monarch of the most magnificent and beautiful of all the kingdoms of the earth and whom Orangine hoped to wed, placed himself by the side of Rosette and was completely absorbed in her during the repast. After dinner, Orangine and Roussette, in order to draw some attention towards themselves, sang a duet.
'And how have you been at Sigmundskron? continued the sprightly lady. 'Do you know? It would be my dream to live at Sigmundskron! So romantic, so solitary, so deliciously poetic! It is no wonder that you look like Cinderella and the fairy godmother! I am sure they both lived at Sigmundskron and Greif will be the Prince Charmant with his Puss in Boots quite a Lohengrin in fact dear me!
Quel charmant homme, n'est-ce pas?" "Infinitely so," said I. "But I would not willingly detain you any further with a story, the details of which it must naturally be more or less unpleasant for you to hear.

Grushnitski, on the contrary, leaning his elbows on the grand piano, facing her, was devouring her with his eyes and saying in an undertone every minute: "Charmant! Delicieux!"
"It is not worth while to spend the time in disputing and quarrelling," said the king. "It is better to occupy ourselves in finding some means of getting rid of Rosette and preventing Prince Charmant from seeing her again." "Nothing more easy than that," said the queen. "I will have her despoiled to-morrow of her rare jewels and her beautiful robes.
