But the gnarliest hickory makes the best axe-handle, so maybe he'll make a good man some day, with your help.",CHAPTER XV NELSON,Her tone is only too significant. His face has grown black again.

The Prince, delighted at these words, and still more by the tone in which they were uttered, knew not how to express his joy and gratitude. He assured her that he loved her better than himself.

He was much more embarrassed than she was, which is not to be wondered at. She had had time to think over what she should say to him, for there is reason to believe, although history does not mention it, that during her long, long sleep, the good fairy had let her enjoy very pleasant dreams.
