Instead of the awkward Ulrich of the present, the fairy-prince he was now to become stood before her; he was to return without fail at Christmas, and then how delightful it would be to play with him again. Of late they had been together even more than usual, continually seeking for the word, and planning a thousand delightful things he was to conjure up for her, and she for him and others.
"Percinet, Percinet, do not reproach me; I am only too unhappy." "It is your own fault. Come with me, and make us both happy." But she said nothing, and the fairy-prince disappeared. At sunset, Grognon eagerly came to the prison-door with her three keys, and found Graciosa smiling and fair, her task all done.

I might longer have concealed myself from you, but for your present sorrow, in which, however, I hope to be of both comfort and assistance a page and yet a prince, and your faithful lover." At these words, at once tender and respectful, the princess, who had long heard of the fairy-prince Percinet, felt so happy that she feared Grognon no more.
