Lately, from what motive I cannot guess, he has ceased his nocturnal visits, and comes only in the day. Rosette thanked them for all the trouble they were taking; she promised to govern the kingdom well, and said that, during their absence, her only pleasure would be in looking at the peacock, and making her little dog dance. They all three cried when they said good-bye to each other. “Oh, is that you, back here already?”.
