Now it was Katrina the dwarf he was inviting. She could not believe at first that she was asked to a party at Kingthorpe. “Yes, but I have just written to him that if he will rub himself with kerosene he will get well.” Fifteen or sixteen years had passed, when, the King and Queen being absent at one of their country houses, it happened that the Princess, while running about the castle one day, and up the stairs from one room to the other, came to a little garret at the top of a turret, where an old woman sat alone spinning with distaff and spindle, for this good woman had never heard the King's proclamation forbidding the use of the spindle. “Rich people have trouble everywhere,” said Miss Melling curtly. “Sit still or you’ll fall out of the carriage.”.
