'One is excused when one is asleep! said the Eastwind, and they flew on faster than ever. You could mark their flight by the rustling of the trees as they passed over the woods; and whenever they crossed a lake, or the sea, the waves rose and the great ships dipped low down in the water, like floating swans.
When the Prince woke up in the early morning, he was not a little surprised to find that he was already high above the clouds. He was sitting on the back of the Eastwind, who was holding him carefully; they were so high up that woods and fields, rivers and lakes, looked like a large coloured map. 'Good morning, said the Eastwind.
THE ENVOY. What possessed me to ask for the same answer old Eastwind got? THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. But it was not the same answer. The answer to Eastwind was an inspiration to our party for years. It won us the election. THE ENVOY'S DAUGHTER. I learnt it at school, granpa. It wasn't the same at all. Whilst the east wind prevails Britain shall prosper.
Now it rules over all the birds, and it is the only phoenix in the world. He bit a hole in the leaf I gave you; that is his greeting to the Princess. 'Let us have something to eat now! said the mother of the winds; and they all sat down to eat the roast stag, and the Prince sat by the side of the Eastwind, so they soon became good friends.
'I will remain here! said the Prince. And the Eastwind kissed him on the mouth and said: 'Be strong, then we shall meet again in a hundred years. Farewell! Farewell! And the Eastwind spread his great wings; they shone like poppies at the harvest time, or the Northern Lights in a cold winter. 'Good-bye! good-bye! whispered the flowers.
So it is evident that the oracle can foresee the future, and is sometimes willing to reveal it. THE ENVOY. Quite true. Thank you, Poppa. I appeal now, over your head, young woman, direct to the August Oracle, to repeat the signal favor conferred on my illustrious predecessor, Sir Fuller Eastwind, and to answer me exactly as he was answered. The oracle raises her hands to command silence.
