'Is it naughty of Lootie, then? 'It would be naughty of you. I've never done anything for Lootie. 'And you did wash my face and hands for me, said Irene, beginning to cry. The old lady smiled a sweet smile and said: 'I'm not vexed with you, my child nor with Lootie either. But I don't want you to say anything more to Lootie about me. If she should ask you, you must just be silent.
And still as she told what Curdie had done, Sir Walter and others added to what she told, even Lootie joining in the praises of his courage and energy. Curdie held his peace, looking quietly up in the king's face. And his mother stood on the outskirts of the crowd listening with delight, for her son's deeds were pleasant in her ears, until the princess caught sight of her.
Curdie and his father and mother took Lootie with them. And the whole way a light, of which all but Lootie understood the origin, shone upon their path. But when they looked round they could see nothing of the silvery globe. For days and days the water continued to rush from the doors and windows of the king's house, and a few goblin bodies were swept out into the road.
Oh, dear! oh, dear! how happy I am! Lootie was very glad to please the princess. She got her hat and cloak, and they set out together for a walk up the mountain; for the road was so hard and steep that the water could not rest upon it, and it was always dry enough for walking a few minutes after the rain ceased.
One night long ago Curdie drove the goblins away and brought Lootie and me safe from the mountain. And I promised him a kiss when we got home, but Lootie wouldn't let me give it him. I don't want you to scold Lootie, but I want you to tell her that a princess must do as she promises. 'Indeed she must, my child except it be wrong, said the king. 'There, give Curdie a kiss.
