"What impertinence!" said one of the ladies to Miss Blake. "What can she know about it? Is she not the young person who tuned the piano?" "Perhaps she tunes Miss Thyra Flowerdew's piano!" suggested Miss Blake, in a loud whisper. "You are right, madam," said the little girl, quietly. "I have often tuned Miss Flowerdew's piano."
The king took a great stalk of the angelica in his hand and went home with it to Queen Thyra. He found the queen in her hall weeping for her lost estates.
