The tales were the same as those I had heard often of late about her mother, Quendritha, and with all my heart I hoped that the Princess Etheldrida was not as those two. I had heard naught but good of her, at all events, and I will say now that all I had heard was true. There could be no sweeter maiden in all the land than she.
I want him to answer me as if I were just a franklin's wife who is in doubt. "Listen, then, if you will." She turned to me with a sort of appeal, and spoke quietly, though I saw that she was almost weeping. "Last night I dreamed a dream, and in it I waited in the church here for the bells to ring for the wedding of my son and Etheldrida, whom he loves.

First she spoke soothingly to Etheldrida, who turned from the sight of her, being too sick at heart to answer her; then she spoke to me, looking at me evilly, so that I feared what was coming. "'You minded me that your mother was one of our subjects, she said, in that terrible, cold voice of hers. 'Now I will see you wedded safely, to one who is a friend of ours.
