"What a long time!" said the princess. "I don't remember it at all."
"No. I suppose not."
"But I never saw you before."
"No. But you shall see me again."
"Do you live in this room always?"
"I don't sleep in it. I sleep on the opposite side of the landing. I sit
here most of the day."
"I shouldn't like it. My nursery is much prettier. You must be a queen
too, if you are my great big grandmother."
"Yes, I am a queen."
"Where is your crown then?"
"In my bedroom."
"I _should_ like to see it."
"You shall some day--not to-day."
"I wonder why nursie never told me."
