desires his presence. When you have chosen one of these underservants
to wait upon you, I shall order the room to be cleared."
"Thank you very much, Sir Walter," said the princess, and her eye
glanced toward a rosy-cheeked girl who had lately come to the house as
a
scullery-maid.
But when Lootie saw the eyes of her dear princess going in search of
another instead of her, she fell upon her knees by the bedside, and
burst into a great cry of distress.
"I think, Sir Walter," said the princess, "I will keep Lootie. But I put
myself under your care; and you need not trouble my king-papa until I
speak to you again. Will you all please to go away? I am quite safe and
well, and I did not hide myself for the sake either of amusing myself,
or of troubling my people. Lootie, will you please to dress me?"
