great anxiety to her, and she kept them at honie, as well as she e,
could, in a beautiful bower of roses and lillies. Her eldest daughter,
the fair Brillianta, was-so exceedingly handsome that-she attracted
the notice of Prince Ebiis, who sought her hand, but was rejected,
nut only by the yose.g lady, but by her mother and all- •the
family. Shortly aftema.rds the Prince Peacock, a gay bachelor,
whose domain joined that of the Queen Goldenwing, becoming
wed of -single blessedness, proclaimed that he would give a
',sand ball, and invited everybody, far and near, in the -hope
gnat f•from amongst the ladies he might select a wife. The
fair -Brillianta, with all her sisters, went to the Princes ball,
where he -at once became enamoured of her, and arrangements
ur their marriage were being made by Queen Goldenvdng,
wean Prince F.be_s, hearing of this, became so enraged -that,
while the Queen was at the Palace of Prince Peacock, having:sent
her children home to the Bower, he resolved to burn that beautiful
place to the ground, and all the family hi it. Fortunately the
tier Brillianta- at-mai/Jed with the Prince, carefully enclosed in a
large and lovely rose, to guard her from harm. As the Queen and
'the Prince were looking from the battlements of the Palace at a
great comet which appeared at that time, a lurid light was
observed in tho sky, while voices in the air warned •the • Queen of
what was doing by singing, " Ladle Bird, Ladle Bird, fly away
home, your h ouse is on fire, your children at home." Onlearing
this the Queen became alarmed, and, with the Prince and _Per
daughter, attended by the Double-faced Guards, who never
their backs on an enemy, because they could not, flew-to the scene
of the conflagration, where, in spite of the exertions of the good
fairy- firemen, the Prince and his Guards wore completely van-
quished by Prince Elbis, and Brillianta was nearly in. his pqwer
when King Fog, who had one night protected some of the little
ladye bird children of Goldenwing, when they had stayed out too
late and ,become lost in his mists, suddenly appeared, and, calling
to their aid a shower of rain, not only extinguished the flames of
the burning Bovier, but so befriended Prince Peacock and the fair.
Brilliants, that they eventually because united and lived happy
ever after.
