At that moment, the enchantment being ended, the Princess awoke, and gazing at him for the first time with unexpected tenderness, "Is it you, Prince?" she said; "I have waited long for you to come."

The Mahogany Tree Before Bob could stammer his thanks, the Chief continued, “Report to me in the morning. Better go back now and finish up your work.” Stolidly the man took his orders and stumped out. When he was gone Mr. Whitney’s assistant turned to Bob.
