Prince Lionheart, hearing this cruel story, besought the beautiful Princess to fly with him without delay, but she assured him they must first kill the Jinn, or they would never succeed in making their escape.
But Lionheart was too quick for him, darting aside he dodged the blow and at the same moment snatched the kitten and pushed her into the child's outstretched arms. The other coward had drawn back at Pat's threatening growl. The dog looked fierce enough for anything, and when he saw the blow aimed at his master he seized the bully by the leg and held him fast.
As it grew hotter and hotter, Prince Lionheart felt a burning fever creep over his body, and knowing the magical property of his sword, drew it out to see if aught had befallen it, and lo! it was not his own sword but a changeling! He cried aloud, 'I am undone! I am undone! and galloped homewards.
It wasn't that she ceased to be friendly; but she placed between herself and him one of those women-built, impalpable, impassable barriers which baffled, puzzled men are unable to tear down. It was impossible, I thought, that she should remain blind to his open passion for herself: he was anything but subtle, was Richard of the Lionheart.
Then the King would shake his head, saying only sons were too precious to be turned adrift; but at last, seeing the young Prince could think of nothing else, he gave his consent, and Prince Lionheart set off on his travels, taking no one with him but his three companions, the Knifegrinder, the Blacksmith, and the Carpenter.
Dick almost answered "Lionheart," but stopped just in time. "Richard Hart Crosby." "Of course! And you're his living image; but he had neither wife nor child." "Do you mean my uncle, sir. Do you know him." "Know Dick Crosby? Almost as well as I know Nellie here. And I've heard him speak of his brother many times."
Then the Prince twisted off the bee's legs, and lo! the Jinn became legless also; and when the bee's head was torn off, the Jinn's life went out entirely. So Prince Lionheart returned in triumph to the Princess, who was overjoyed to hear of her tyrant's death.
Then the Carpenter stayed behind to cook, but he fared no better than the two others, so that when hungry Prince Lionheart returned there were three sick men, shivering and shaking under their quilts, and no dinner. Whereupon the Prince set to work to cook his food himself. No sooner had it begun to give off a savoury smell than the tiny mouse-warrior appeared, very fierce and valiant.
"It's easy to be Lionheart when the Lord God is along," said Dick wistfully. "I wish you wouldn't go in any more, Paddy, because I love you so, and God wouldn't maybe care to go into such places, and you'd have to leave Him outside." "Just hark to the boy," said Paddy lightly, jumping up and making ready for bed.
But the Carpenter fared no better, for the ghost appeared to him also, so that he fled and locked himself up in another room. 'This is really too bad! quoth Prince Lionheart, when he returned to find no dinner, no Blacksmith, no Carpenter.
