The King would certainly have found out his mistake the moment they stepped into the brilliantly lighted castle, but Turritella held her mantle more closely round her, and asked to see the Fairy by herself, and quickly told her all that had happened, and how she had succeeded in deceiving King Charming. 'Oho! my daughter, said the Fairy, 'I see we have no easy task before us.
'She shall have cause to repent that the King admires her, said the Queen, nodding her head meaningly, and then she and Turritella went up to the little room in the tower where the Princess was imprisoned.
'Oh! what are you telling me? cried the Princess. 'Has not your bride, Turritella, just visited me, wearing the royal mantle and the diamond crown you gave her? I cannot be mistaken, for I saw your ring upon her thumb.
King Charming then asked it there was not another Princess, called Fiordelisa. 'Yes, said Turritella, pointing with her finger, 'there she is, trying to keep out of sight because she is not smart. At this Fiordelisa blushed, and looked so shy and so lovely, that the King was fairly astonished. He rose, and bowing low before her, said 'Madam, your incomparable beauty needs no adornment.
The numerous shells from Navidad, with the exception of two, namely, the Sigaretus and Turritella found at Ypun, are likewise distinct from those found in any other part of this coast.
'I marry that little creature! What do you take me for? I have promised her nothing! 'Say no more. Have you no respect for a Fairy? cried she angrily. 'Yes, madam, answered the King, 'I am prepared to respect you as much as a Fairy can be respected, if you will give me back my Princess. 'Am I not here? interrupted Turritella. 'Here is the ring you gave me.
The King could not help thinking that she did not say exactly what he would have expected from his darling Fiordelisa, but he persuaded himself that the fear of being surprised by the Queen was making her awkward and unnatural. He would not leave her until she had promised to see him again the next night, which Turritella did willingly enough.
While she spoke the Queen and Turritella were looking at her in the greatest surprise, perfectly dazzled by her beauty and the splendour of her jewels, and the Queen said: 'If one may ask, Madam, where did you get all these diamonds? Perhaps you mean to tell me that you have discovered a mine of them in the tower! 'I certainly did find them here, answered the Princess.
And the Queen answered: 'Let me sleep once more in the Chamber of Echoes. 'I won't refuse your request, poor creature, said Turritella condescendingly. And then she turned to her ladies and whispered 'The silly creature does not know how to profit by her chances; so much the better for me.
'That I do not know, answered the Queen; 'and even if I did, I might not feel bound to tell you. The King was terribly angry at being thwarted like this. He felt certain that Turritella was to blame for it, so casting a furious glance at her he abruptly took leave of the Queen, and returned to his own apartments.
