They walked, or rather Daimur walked and the doves flew slowly towards the hill, but soon came to a great wall of rock that jutted out for half a mile, and over which they could see by the tree tops a terrific wind was blowing.
Now all this talk of wind made Daimur think of the day he had found the Good Old Man of Sunne in his cottage with the door blown in, and when he put his hand in his bosom, there safe and sound was his little case with his cap, spectacles and key, which in his distress he had entirely forgotten. He opened the case and putting on the spectacles looked at the dove.
"Don't bother with them," said Prince Redmond impatiently, "let us go into the palace and see if father is still alive." Daimur ordered the marines to advance, and as the two guards did nothing but blink at them, and no other defenders appeared it only took them a few seconds to reach the palace door.
He was made to lie down and rest, and more food was pressed upon him, and the food and the fresh sea breeze which blew into the cave soon revived him. They told him all about themselves and their plans, and it was agreed that he would be of great assistance to Daimur in helping to make their escape.
"Of course it is empty," said the Duchess with a sniff, as she stooped and fitted the little key into the lock. Daimur and Redmond lifted the lid, and behold! It was all packed carefully in glass boxes bound with steel and each box was labeled with the owner's name. The largest box bore Queen Amy's name, and the royal coat of arms.
"We soon found our way to the fruit trees, you may be sure, with the result that in three days we had all been transformed into birds, which shape we had no hope of changing for our own again until you, Prince Daimur, came to rescue us." "And your brother Tasmir," asked Daimur, "do you still believe him to be alive?" "Indeed," replied Prince Redmond sadly, "I do not know.
"Can you not call the Queen and the Princess," asked Daimur, "so that they may share some of this food?" "You are very kind," said King Cyril, "but I am afraid they are both asleep yet.
"But," she continued, stepping towards the lake, "I can now restore the water to its natural purity." She waved her wand over it as she spoke, and Daimur could see that the oily substance seemed to evaporate immediately. "Oh, tell us, good fairy, is our father still alive?" cried Prince Redmond. "He is," answered the fairy, "though very feeble. He will not live much longer.
When he had finished he was apparently much stronger, and hopped upon Daimur's knee. "Look at me," he said, "and tell me what I am." "You are a very beautiful brown dove with a golden crest," said Daimur.
The following day began with a great public reception, and after a formal luncheon to the nobles and members of Government, there were several cabinet meetings, at which Daimur was asked as a matter of courtesy to attend. In the evening the princes were to address the populace from the palace balcony.
