In fact, I believe that unless you go away at once I shall be obliged to box your ears!" There seemed to be no help for her, so Timtom left the room sadly, and going to the King, told him what she had said. "Then that is the end of the matter," declared the King, "for no one can cure Pattycake of her bad temper."
"Away to the south, in the midst of a thick wood," answered his mother. "Then," said he, sturdily, "if this castle exists, I will surely find it, for to win Pattycake is my only hope of happiness." The next day he set out on his journey, filled with the hope of finding Maetta's castle and securing her assistance. Before he had gone very far a snow-storm began to rage.
However, he had not come to admire these things, gorgeous and beautiful though they were, but to win the Princess Pattycake; so he walked to the entrance of the castle, and seeing no one about, entered the great door-way and passed through. He found himself in a passage-way covered with mother-of-pearl, where many electric lights were hidden in shells of most exquisite tintings.
"I do not want to be cured!" cried the Princess, angrily. "Go away at once, or I shall hurt you!" "I shall not go away until you have promised to marry me," replied Timtom, firmly. At this Pattycake began to scream with rage, and threw her shoe straight at his head. Timtom dodged the shoe and paid no attention to the naughty action, but continued to look at the pretty Princess smilingly.
Timtom went at once to the room where Princess Pattycake was moodily sitting, and said, boldly: "I should like to marry you." "What!" screamed the Princess, in a great rage; "marry me! Go away this instant, you impudent boy, or I shall throw my shoe at your head!" Timtom was both surprised and shocked at this outburst, but he realized that the Princess had a remarkably bad temper.
But the young lady, being in an especially bad temper that day, positively refused to see him. Having overcome so many obstacles, Timtom did not intend to be thwarted by a sulky girl, so he walked boldly to the room where the Princess sat alone, every one being afraid to go near her. "Good day, my dear Pattycake," he said pleasantly; "I have come to cure your bad temper."
As to the fate of the Cast-iron Man, he was wound up so tightly that he kept walking straight on until he reached the sea, where he stepped into the water, went down to the bottom, and stuck fast in the mud. And I have no doubt he is there to this day. The Seventh Surprise Now of all the monarch's daughters the most beautiful by far was the Princess Pattycake.
Fiddlecumdoo was so broad that the only thing he could sit down on was the sofa, and he was so thin that when Princess Pattycake sneezed he was blown half way across the room. At dinner he could eat nothing that was not sliced as thin as a shaving, and so sad was his predicament that the King determined to ask the Wise Donkey what could be done to relieve his unfortunate son.
A week later there was a great feast in the Valley of Mo, and much rejoicing among the people, for it was the wedding-day of Timtom and the Princess Pattycake. The Eighth Surprise There is no country so delightful but that it suffers some disadvantages, and so it was with the Valley of Mo.
Seeing this, Pattycake rushed forward and seizing him by his hair began to pull with all her strength. At the same time she opened her mouth to scream, and while it was open Timtom threw the golden pill down her throat. Immediately the Princess released his hair and sank at his feet sobbing and trembling, while she covered her pretty face with her hands to hide her blushes and shame.
