But were you to betray what has here passed, I will find the dagger of a Lootie which shall reach thee, wert thou sheltered under the folds of the Nawaub's garment. In the meantime, take this missive, and when you are in possession of Bangalore, despatch it to General Smith, whose division shall have orders to approach as near the frontiers of Mysore as may be, without causing suspicion."
'You are so rude, Lootie, that I will not speak to you again till you are sorry. Why should I, when I know you will not believe me? returned the princess. For she did know perfectly well that if she were to tell Lootie what she had been about, the more she went on to tell her, the less would she believe her. 'You are the most provoking child! cried her nurse.
'He shall do no such thing. 'What shall he call me, then, Lootie? 'Your Royal Highness. 'My Royal Highness! What's that? No, no, Lootie. I won't be called names. I don't like them. You told me once yourself it's only rude children that call names; and I'm sure Curdie wouldn't be rude. Curdie, my name's Irene.
And you know it was, Lootie. 'He won't mind that. I'm sure he won't. 'Then I'll cry, and go down on my knees to him, and beg him not to take away my own dear Lootie. The nurse was comforted at hearing this, and said no more. They went on, walking pretty fast, but taking care not to run a step. 'I want to talk to you, said Irene to the little miner; 'but it's so awkward!
'It means, my love, that I did not mean to show myself. Curdie is not yet able to believe some things. Seeing is not believing it is only seeing. You remember I told you that if Lootie were to see me, she would rub her eyes, forget the half she saw, and call the other half nonsense. 'Yes; but I should have thought Curdie 'You are right.
I fancy Lootie was longer in returning than she had intended; for when Irene, who had been lost in thought, looked up, she saw it was nearly dark, and at the same moment caught sight of a pair of eyes, bright with a green light, glowering at her through the open window. The next instant something leaped into the room.
He thought he was ascending the Mountainside from the mouth of the mine, whistling and singing 'Ring, dod, bang! when he came upon a woman and child who had lost their way; and from that point he went on dreaming everything that had happened to him since he thus met the princess and Lootie; how he had watched the goblins, how he had been taken by them, how he had been rescued by the princess; everything, indeed, until he was wounded, captured, and imprisoned by the men-at-arms.
I promised a kiss, cried Irene. 'A princess mustn't give kisses. It's not at all proper, said Lootie. 'But I promised, said the princess. 'There's no occasion; he's only a miner-boy. 'He's a good boy, and a brave boy, and he has been very kind to us. Lootie! Lootie! I promised. 'Then you shouldn't have promised. 'Lootie, I promised him a kiss.
But the housekeeper was afraid of the nurse, and sought to patch matters up, saying: 'I am sure, princess, nursie did not mean to be rude to you. 'I do not think my papa would wish me to have a nurse who spoke to me as Lootie does. If she thinks I tell lies, she had better either say so to my papa, or go away. Sir Walter, will you take charge of me?
She kept on chattering as well as she could, but it was not easy. 'Lootie! Lootie! why do you run so fast? It shakes my teeth when I talk. 'Then don't talk, said Lootie. 'But the princess went on talking. She was always saying: 'Look, look, Lootie! but Lootie paid no more heed to anything she said, only ran on. 'Look, look, Lootie! Don't you see that funny man peeping over the rock?
