"Indeed, I never did."
"You said I wasn't so pretty as that--"
"As my beautiful grandmother--yes, I did say that; and I say it again,
for it's quite true."
"Then I _do_ think you _are_ unkind!" said the nurse, and put her
handkerchief to her eyes again.
"Nursie, dear, everybody can't be as beautiful as every other body, you
know. You are _very_ nice-looking, but if you had been as beautiful as
my grandmother--"
"Bother your grandmother!" said the nurse.
"Nurse, that's very rude. You are not fit to be spoken to--till you can
behave better."
The princess turned away once more, and again the nurse was
ashamed of
herself.
