. What happened at Olenberg . Princess,I would thank you to treat me more like one! and shecarried herself so loftily, that the two little girls shrankback.

Pappywill take us in the cart, and, Oh, wont we have a grandtime! You will do nothing of the sort, declared Huldavery decidedly. You must remember you are not mysisters, and I wont have any old millers cart drivinginto my palace grounds, nor any village ragamuffins likeyou coming to disgrace me with your common mannersand your shabby clothes. I may send you some moneynow and then by one of my maids in waiting, but dontthink that I am going to have anything more to do with AT OLENBERG 107 the family. No indeed! Remember, if you please, thata princess is not a millers daughter; and so saying shewalked off in another direction and let the little girlsgo home by themselves. In the meantime Gretchen, too, had started home,. and she had not gone far when her little foster brother,Dicky, caught sight of her and came running to joinher. O Gretchen, dear, he cried, I m sure you arethe Princess! I m just sure of it! Let us hurry andsee if we cant find the locket. I shall be the proudest 108 WHAT HAPPENED boy in the village if we find it. And just think howproud Daddy will be, and Sister Mary. Oh, do hurry,Gretchen; dont poke so! Gretchen laughed and patted him on the is plenty of time, she replied. And I dontbelieve you would be so glad, after all, if your sisterturned out to be a princess; for then she would have togo away from you. I had nt thought of that, answered Dicky, look-ing very serious for a moment. But then, just think,he went on, brightening up, you will go to live in apalace and we can come to see you and take dinnerwith you and perhaps sometimes we could ride in thecarriage with you. My! would nt that be grand!and he clapped his hands at the thought of it
