CHAPTER IV
WHAT THE NURSE THOUGHT OF IT
"WHY, where can you have been, princess?" asked the nurse, taking
her in
her arms. "It's very unkind of you to hide away so long. I began to be
afraid--"
Here she checked herself.
"What were you afraid of, nursie?" asked the princess.
"Never mind," she answered. "Perhaps I will tell you another day. Now
tell me where you have been?"
"I've been up a long way to see my very great, huge, old grandmother,"
said the princess.
"What do you mean by that?" asked the nurse, who thought she was
making
fun.
