It was a cold winter's evening very cold and the pages had drawn the thick crimson curtains in the drawing-room, and the fire had been mended, and was piled high up, blazing and crackling; the candles were lighted, and Glumdalkin's velvet cushion had been placed ready for her in front of the fire, and she was slowly crawling towards it, that she might stretch herself out at full length, and digest the wing of a boiled fowl that she had just been dining upon.
'No, no, nonsense! replied the princess, who had just helped herself to the breast of a partridge, 'put it in the old place in the garden; and here put this wing and leg upon the dish too. Did not Glumdalkin's eyes sparkle when she got to the dish, and found the wing of the partridge; how she devoured it!
Now Friskarina had a strong idea that it would be advisable to keep out of Glumdalkin's way that afternoon as long as possible, having a pretty tolerable notion of the sort of temper her respected relative would be most likely to be found in, so, cold as it was out-of-doors, Friskarina could not muster resolution to go into the house till it was really getting quite late, almost tea-time.
