Don't let the maiden trick you again. She is under an enchantment that makes her cruel and crafty and the enchantment will never be broken until she meets a man upon whom her wiles have no effect." "Trust me this time," Danilo said. "I've had my lesson."
The Sultan who had accepted the rule of the Bishop in Montenegro as in other Christian districts, protested against the recognition of an hereditary Prince and at once attacked Montenegro, which was saved by the diplomatic intervention of both Russia and Austria, neither of whom wished its destruction. Peace was made and Danilo formally recognized. He was never popular.
Give it us." At last, looking at Miss Petrovitch and us, the musician timidly started the music, for the "Merry Widow" is "straffed" in Montenegro as one of the characters is a caricature of Prince Danilo, hence everybody plays it with gusto in private. We came again to Plavnitza.
His uncle and all the old men in the village take credit to themselves for the success of his adventures. "It is due entirely to us," they tell any one who will listen to them, "that Danilo went out in search of Peerless Beauty in the first place. When he came to us and asked our advice we said to him: 'Go, by all means!
"Here they are in this chest. Take them." Danilo opened the chest and took out his own five bags of gold. "Is that all?" he asked. "Yes, that is all." Danilo gave her some of the red grape conserve and of course, instead of the horns already on her head falling off, more grew on. "You're not telling me the truth," Danilo said, "and I can't cure you. There's no use my treating you further."
Then the crafty maiden spoke him fair and Danilo told her about the magic cap, and when she said to him that she repented having treated him so cruelly and asked him to let her see the cap, the poor young man was so dazzled by her beauty and her seeming kindness that he handed it to her at once. Instantly she clapped it on her head and disappeared.
Fighting almost till the last, Danilo died full of years and fame, in 1735, and named his nephew Sava, who had acted for some time as ecclesiastical head, as his successor. Sava had no ambition to be aught but a Churchman. He built the monastery of Stanjevitch and retired to it, leaving his nephew Vassili to govern. Vassili, who was already in holy orders, had much of the quality of Danilo.
Then she laughed in derision and called out loudly to the guards: "Ho, there! Take out this young man and drive him forth! Let him return when he has another treasure to offer me!" So the guards dragged Danilo out and drove him away. With no more gold, with no more magic cap, Danilo returned to his father's house. "Perhaps there are other treasures hidden away," he thought. "I'll search further."
What sensible girl wouldn't?" The Story of an Enchanted Maiden There was once a rich man who when he was dying called his son to his bedside and said: "Danilo, my son, I am leaving you my riches.
I could love you now if you loved me, but I know of course that you will never love me again after the cruel way I have treated you!" "But I do love you!" Danilo cried. "I do love you!" "No, you don't!" she said, and she pretended to weep. "If you did love me, you'd tell me where you found those red grapes and what this magic conserve is made of. But of course you don't love me enough to tell me."
