He is a bright, brownish little fellow, agile like a monkey, clean-shaven like an actor, and obliging like a born courtier.

Once there was a poor prince. He had a kingdom; it was very tiny. Still, it was large enough to marry upon, and on marriage his heart was set. Now it was certainly rather bold of him to say, "Will you have me?" to the emperor's own daughter.
