The fairy had provided their supper; they passed the night on the bundles of hay in the stable and as they were all fatigued by the emotions of the day they slept profoundly. The sun had been shining a long time and the fairy Drolette was with them, before they awoke. A soft "Hem! hem!" of the fairy aroused them.
The fairy Drolette lowered her chariot, descended to the earth and said: "The queen of the fairies has punished you for your audacity, sister. Repent, if you wish to obtain pardon." The only answer of Furious was to spit forth her poisonous venom, which happily reached no one.
She paused in front of him and casting a furious glance upon the fairy Drolette and an eye of mocking triumph upon Violette, she folded her great cold arms and said in a sharp yet hoarse voice: "My sister has triumphed over me, Prince Marvellous.
She could not but hope, however, that the fairy Drolette would recompense the generous and noble character of her little charge and, by some extraordinary exercise of her power, release him from his hairy skin. Some years passed away in this peaceful manner without the occurrence of any remarkable event. Ourson and Violette both grew rapidly.
The fairy Furious was drawing them to the bottom of the stream. He knew he was sinking but he did not lose his self-possession. Instead of releasing Violette, he seized her both arms and invoked the fairy Drolette. When they reached the bottom, he gave one vigorous stroke with his heel which brought him again to the surface.
At last he perceived the wild boar shaking with his snout the tree upon which Violette was still crouched in safety though pale and overcome. This sight gave him new strength. He invoked the protection of the good fairy Drolette and rushed upon the wild boar with his axe in his hand. The wild boar in his rage bellowed furiously.
Here, my dear Ourson and my sweet Violette never forget their old nurse. I love them and I will remain with them. They loved me and they will take care of me." The farmer, the superintendent, and the master of the forge who had been so cruel to Ourson were severely punished by the fairy Drolette. The farmer was devoured by a bear, some hours after he had chased away Ourson.
Adieu till to-morrow. When you are truly happy, my dear children, think kindly of your friend the fairy Drolette." The fairy ascended her chariot. The larks flew like lightning and she soon disappeared, leaving behind her a delicious perfume. Prince Marvellous looked at Violette and sighed heavily; Violette gazed at the prince and smiled sweetly. "How handsome you are, my dear cousin!
The countenance of Agnella expressed such regret and anxiety, that Ourson questioned her as to this precious casket which seemed to trouble her so much. "The casket was a present of the fairy Drolette. She told me that the happiness of Violette was contained in it. It was in the wardrobe, at the foot of my bed. Alas! by what fatality did I forget it?"
"Madam," said she to Agnella, "you see in me the fairy Drolette, the protectress of your son and of the little princess whom he brought home this morning from the forest. This princess is nearly related to you for she is your niece the daughter of your brother-in-law Indolent and sister-in-law Nonchalante.
