A burst of gay laughter ended the song, a great veil of white spray
was flung over Duldy as he sat on the bank, and the stream resumed
its inarticulate babbling. Duldy went home dreaming of the lovely
face he had seen, but, feeling something cold clasping his wrist, he
looked down and saw for a moment that it was encircled by a wreath
of foam. The white bubbles vanished, but he still felt the cold clasp,
and knew, though he could not see it, that the water bracelet was still
on his wrist. As he stood perplexed at this wonder, the murmur of the
waterfall sounding like soft thunder through the green woods shaped
itself once more into words:
“’Tis I whom thou hearest.
I stole thee, my dearest.
I loved thee and kissed when thou wast a child.
I love thee for ever,
No Fate can us sever:
The foam-ring will bind thee to me undefiled.”
On hearing this, Duldy kissed his hand towards the tall white column
of foam, whereupon it vanished, and in its place stood a slender,
beautiful woman in an azure robe girdled with white water-lilies, the
same flowers also being entwined in her golden hair, which fell in
great waves down to the ground.
On seeing this beautiful faery with the profusion of golden tresses,
Duldy could only stare, whereupon she came forward with a smile
and took his hand. Her touch was bitterly cold, and he shivered in
the chilly atmosphere which she seemed to spread around her.
“Are you Foamina?” asked Duldy cautiously.
“Yes, I am the Spirit of the River,” she replied,
nodding her golden head. “Why do you wish
to see me?”
“Because I want to leave the forest,” said
Duldy quickly.
“I know you do,” cried Foamina, with a laugh
which sounded like the ripple of water; “but
you’ll never do so; I’ll foam round you like a
brook, and you’ll never be able to jump
across.”
“But why will you do so?” asked the shepherd.
“Because I love you—I love you!” she murmured, bending towards
him; “and I won’t let you go to the Princess.”
“But I want to waken the Princess with a kiss.”
“I know you do,” said Foamina again; “but you’ll never kiss her—
even if you did it would be no good. I plunged her into that magic
sleep by my enchantments, and she’ll never awaken until you
promise to marry me.”
“Oh, I’ll never do that!” exclaimed Duldy.
“Very well; then she’ll sleep on for ever,” said the Water-witch,
laughing cruelly, while the air round her grew bitterly cold, and the
yellow locks of her hair and the blue folds of her robe seemed to
undulate over her lovely form like waves of water.
“Then, as you won’t let me leave the forest, I suppose I must stay
here,” said Duldy in despair.
“Yes, unless you promise to marry me,” replied Foamina tenderly.
“In that case I’ll remain here for ever,” cried Duldy angrily; “and as it’s
so cold, I’ll light a fire.”
“No, don’t do that,” said the Water-witch, shivering; “I don’t like fire,—
a cruel, hot thing which burns me up.”
“I don’t care,” retorted Duldy, beginning to collect sticks for his fire;
“I’m not going to perish with cold for your sake, especially when I
don’t love you.”
“I’ll put your fire out,” cried Foamina in a rage.
“Oh no, you won’t,” replied Duldy coolly; “I won’t let you. Besides, I
can talk to you much more comfortably when I’m warm.”
Foamina stood sulkily on one side as Duldy lighted his fire; for, in
spite of her threat, she was so afraid of the flames that she dared not
approach them. Very soon the shepherd had a large fire blazing
away merrily, and the red glare lighted up the sombre branches of
the trees and the beautiful face of Foamina, who retired to some little
distance when the fire began to burn, singing a strange, sweet song:
—
“Fire red,
Thee I dread;
Water blue,
I love you;
Fire—water
Maketh hotter;
Water—fire
Makes expire.”
After travelling for some days, Duldy at last arrived, footsore and
weary, at the gate of Aurea. It was the entrance to a long stone
bridge which crossed the river, encircling the city, and at the farther
end was another gate which opened into the principal street. Duldy
entered under the wonderfully carved archway, and looked open-
mouthed at the smart soldiers on guard, whose red uniforms were all
bedizened with gold lace, and who wore helmets of the same metal.
To be sure, the good people of Aurea did not think much of gold, as
they had such quantities of it, but Duldy, having been brought up
very simply in his forest home, was quite amazed at the glare and
glitter around him.
All the houses were built of white marble, with latticed windows of
yellow gold, and in the centre of the principal square, which was at
the end of the great street, a tall slender column of marble wreathed
round with bands of gold soared aloft in the clear air. The floor of the
square was also of white marble, with four fountains, one at each
corner, which threw up jets of sparkling water in shining profusion.
Indeed, there seemed to be a great deal of water about this
marvellous city; it ran down the sides of every street, it rushed out of
the mouths of lions heads of white marble fastened to the walls, and
in the centre of some of the squares were great still pools, encircled
by marble
rims, flashing like mirrors in the sunlight. Flowers! flowers
everywhere!—wreathed round the houses, growing by the fountains,
and all the people who passed by Duldy wore chaplets on their
heads. White pigeons were flashing through the still air, and the
whole city was perfumed with the scent of myriad blossoms. Oh,
really it was a wonderful city, and Duldy, looking shabby and dusty in
his simple dress, seemed rather out of place among all this
magnificence. His face and form, however, were so noble that an old
white-haired man who was passing turned back to speak to him.
“Fair youth,” he said in a thin, piping voice, “why do you look so tired
and dusty? have you not yet tasted of the hospitality of our city?”
“No,” replied Duldy quietly; “I have been too much astonished at the
beauties of this place to ask yet for hospitality. I have come to cure
the Princess.”
The old man shook his head sadly.
“Ah, many have come to cure the Princess, but none have yet
succeeded; for not doing so they lost their heads; so do not try, my
son, or maybe you will fail, and your comely golden head will be cut
off.”
“Oh, I’m not afraid,” said Duldy, laughing. “I know all about this magic
sleep, and will certainly succeed in awakening her, although the
others have failed. But tell me, why does the King promise his throne
to the person who cures Princess Elsa; has he no son?”
“None,” answered the old man, whose name was Onaro. “The
Princess Elsa is his only child. You are a stranger here, I take it, so
perhaps do not know how the King Arago came to the throne.”
“No, I do not.”
“Then I will tell you,” said Onaro; “it will show you how merit
sometimes succeeds. The last King had the misfortune to be loved
by the Water-witch Foamina, who dwells on the summit of the great
mountain of Kel. He refused her love, and in revenge she drowned
his queen and only son when sailing in a boat. The King was so
overcome with grief at the loss of his wife and child that he died, and
as there was no one of the blood royal to succeed him, the citizens
elected the prime minister, Arago, to be king, and their choice was
very wise; but as he is not of royal blood, none of the neighbouring
princes will marry his daughter, so King Arago has promised her
hand and his throne to the lucky youth who awakens her from this
long sleep.”
“But are you sure the young prince was drowned?” asked Duldy, who
remembered how he had been found on the banks of the river Foam.
“Some say he was, others that he was not,” said Onaro, shaking his
head. “I do not know; but it is fabled that the enchantress Foamina
carried him off with her to her mountain home, but I know not if this
be true.”
“How long ago was the Prince lost?” asked the shepherd
breathlessly.
“Just seventeen years ago,” replied Onaro; “and he was a year old
then, so if he had lived he would now be eighteen years of age.”
“My age,” thought Duldy, with great exultation. “Perhaps, after all, I
am the Prince stolen by Foamina;” but he was too wise to say this
aloud, lest the King should hear of it, and hang him for high treason.
“As you look tired, you had better come to my house,” said Onaro in
a kind voice.
“No, thank you,” replied Duldy, “I’m in too great a hurry; but please
tell me how to reach the palace of the King.”
“Go straight on, and you will find it at the end of the street,” said
Onaro; “but if you are wise you will not go.”
He spoke these last words to the empty air, for Duldy, as soon as he
heard where the palace was to be found, darted up the street like a
swallow, so Onaro turned away sighing, thinking that Duldy would
soon lose his head, like the rest who had come to cure the Princess.
But Duldy had no idea of losing his head, for it was a very wise head,
and useful to him, seeing he could never get another; besides,
feeling sure that Salamander would not deceive him, he determined
to follow out his instructions about the fire of pine cones and the
magic powder.
He soon reached the palace, which was built of dazzling white
marble on an elevation at the end of a square, and was approached
by a splendid staircase with statues of beautiful women on either
side. Duldy looked at the glittering building, with its great towers and
pinnacles of gold, its innumerable slender pillars, its golden lattices,
and the great dome swelling against the blue sky like an enormous
white soap bubble. All this matchless building blazed in the hot
sunshine with such splendour that his foot faltered as he placed it on
the lowest step, and thought what a poor unknown lad he was to
dare such a quest. But the remembrance of the Princess, and the
half belief he had in his own royal birth, gave him courage, and he
raced lightly up the steps, never halting until he stood at the top,
looking down on the wonderful city of white marble and gold spread
out before him.
Then he turned and went into a large hall, through the mighty doors,
which were of sandalwood, all curiously diapered with gold.
“What do you want?” asked a soldier who was on guard at the door.
“To see the King and cure the Princess,” said Duldy boldly.
The soldier burst out laughing, and, calling to his comrade,
whispered in his ear, whereupon they both looked pityingly at Duldy.
“You’ll never succeed,” they said.
“I’ll try, anyhow,” replied Duldy, taking off his cap to a gorgeously-
dressed officer who approached. The soldiers told the officer what
Duldy wanted, the officer told the groom of the chambers, the groom
of the chambers told the prime minister, and the prime minister told
the King; whereupon Duldy was ordered before the monarch, who
sat upon his throne in the great Hall of Audience.
A splendid hall it was, all of white marble, with a roof of fretted gold,
and rich curtains of pale blue velvet hanging between the slender
pillars. The throne of solid gold flashed like a jewel, and Duldy’s feet
sank in the soft velvet carpets as he stood before the King, a royal-
looking man with a crown of silver, for in Aurea silver was thought to
be much more precious than gold. But Duldy did not look upon the
King, as his attention was fixed upon a great golden fountain in the
centre of the hall, out of which spouted the most beautiful coloured
water, which first ascended and fell into the topmost basin like liquid
silver, then fell from the first to the second basin a sheet of gold, from
the second to the third a beautiful crimson tint, from the third to the
fourth a bright blue, and from the fourth to the lowest and last a pale
green colour. All these different coloured waters glittered like gems in
the sunlight which came through the wide windows of the hall, so
that the fountain was called the Fountain of Jewels, and Duldy
guessed it to be the one which Foamina had sent to the King.
Meanwhile Arago was rather angry at Duldy staring at the fountain
instead of himself, for no king likes to be neglected, so he called out
to him in a loud voice,—
“Well, my lad, what do you want?”
“To cure the Princess, sire,” said Duldy, quickly turning to the throne.
“You know the penalty if you fail?” said Arago, looking at him
steadily.
“Yes, I lose my head.”
“Are you not afraid?”
“No, not a bit; but if I succeed, of course I marry the Princess Elsa,
and succeed your Majesty on the throne of Metella,” said Duldy
frankly.
“We have passed our royal word that such will be the case,” replied
the King, smiling. “Now, begin at once and awaken the Princess.”
“First of all, I must have the Princess brought into this hall,” declared
the shepherd.
“Impossible!” said Arago, frowning; “my daughter is asleep on a
couch in her bedroom.”
“Then she must be brought here, couch and all,” said Duldy boldly,
determined to have his own way; “I can only break the spell here.”
“How so?” asked the King.
“Because the Princess Elsa’s sleep is caused by that fountain,” said
Duldy.
“What! the Fountain of Jewels!” cried the King. “That’s nonsense; it
was sent to me by the Queen of Faeryland, and she would not send
me anything hurtful.”
“I daresay she would not,” said Duldy, with emphasis; “but she did
not send that fountain. It came from Foamina.”
“From Foamina!” cried every one, with a start of terror, for the water-
faery was much dreaded in Aurea.
“This is very serious,” said the King gravely. “Young man, you must
prove the truth of what you say, and if such is the case, I shall have
the fountain removed.”
“Then bring in the Princess,” said Duldy, and, kneeling down, he
opened his bundle, which was full of pine cones he had picked up in
the forest. “I must have your Majesty’s permission to light a fire with
these on the marble floor.”
“Very well,” said Arago, nodding his head; “only take care you don’t
spoil the pavement.”
Duldy laughed, and while some of the courtiers went out to bring in
the Princess, he removed a portion of the carpet, then piling up the
pine cones in a little heap, he set them on fire. While he was doing
this, the waters of the fountain kept changing to all sorts of colours,
and at last every tint faded into a bright yellow, which looked like
liquid gold, and breathed a strong perfume, nearly sending Duldy to
sleep. However, he pinched himself to keep awake, and attended to
his fire, which was now glowing red-hot, while the King and the
courtiers all looked on with great curiosity, being much astonished at
the change of the Fountain of Jewels.
The Princess was brought in, sleeping on her couch of purple, with a
cloth of gold coverlet thrown over her, and she looked truly beautiful,
with her black hair falling in disorder over the couch, and her rose-
tinted cheek supported by one hand, while the other was pressed on
her faintly beating heart. Duldy fell more in love with her than ever,
but, suppressing all outward signs of his passion, he ordered her
couch to be placed midway between the fire and the throne.
The pine cones were now a small heap of red-hot embers, so Duldy
took out the golden box given to him by Salamander, and began to
sing, while he sprinkled some of the powder from the box upon the
fire,—
“O my lovely Princess sleeping,
By the spells of evil chained,
At thy side I’m vigil keeping,
Longing, hoping, smiling, weeping,
While the day hath slowly waned.
Duldy now emptied all the powder on the fire, and a thick violet mist
arose, which, trailing along the floor like a sinuous serpent, writhed
across to the fountain and commenced to coil around it. Coil after
coil it curled around, till it reached the topmost basin, so that the
whole fountain could not be seen, but only the slender jet of water
which shot out of the violet mist like the yellow horn of a trumpet lily.
Duldy, waving his arms towards the fountain, began to sing again,—
“I have found her—long I’ve sought her,
To my heart this maid I take.
Cease thy spells, O river-daughter,
Vanish, fountain—vanish, water,
Let my Princess fair awake.”
At this the yellow jet shot up as high as the fretted ceiling of the hall,
and then sank down till it vanished in the violet mist, which began to
whirl round and round, growing smaller and smaller, sinking at every
whirl till it vanished altogether, and with it the fountain, leaving
nothing but the bare white gleaming marble floor. But the Princess
still slept on, although Duldy could see a faint flutter of her eyelids,
which showed she was awaking, so, bending forward, he kissed her
red lips three times, and sang once more,—
“Now the end of all things this is,
Thou art free from magic snare.
Life for thee hath many blisses,
Words of love and endless kisses.
Ope thine eyes, O maiden fair.”
At this the beautiful Princess opened her eyes, and looked long and
steadily at Duldy, then, rising to her feet, she smiled, and flung her
white arms round his neck.
“It is the face of my dreams,” she sighed. “Oh, my love, I have waited
for thee long years!”
So the spell was broken, for the Princess had awakened, to the
delight of King Arago, who descended from his throne and joined her
hand to that of Duldy.
“I will keep my word,” he said gaily. “You have released not only the
Princess, but all of us, from the power of Foamina, so you will be
married at once, and to-night I’ll give a great ball in honour of you
both.”
Oh, how everybody cheered, and the courtiers ran hither and thither,
telling the good news to one another. The city was in a great state of
excitement, and all the poor people were given plenty of food to eat.
Duldy led his Princess to her room, and then retired in order to dress
himself in his wedding clothes, while the people cheered in the city,
the joy bells rang out, and even Foamina in her mountain solitude
heard the cry, “Long live Prince Duldy!”
III.
You may be sure Foamina was very angry when she heard the
rejoicings in the city of Aurea, for by her magic power she knew that
in spite of all her enchantments Duldy was going to marry the
Princess. She was sitting on a couch of snow high up on the
mountain of Kel, and the moon was shining down on her as she
looked far across the plain to the illuminated city, where Duldy was
being married to Elsa. As she thought of this, Foamina arose quickly,
stamping her foot with rage, so that a great mass of snow came
thundering down the side of the mountain and crashed through the
green trees.
“I won’t let him be happy!” cried Foamina in a rage, “he still has the
foam bracelet on his wrist, so I’ll part him from his Princess yet, in
spite of Salamander and his threats.”
So she flung herself off the snow bed and poured down the valley in
a torrent of angry foam. First she went to the faery of one stream,
and then to the faery of another—making them promise that they
would roar like torrents down the mountain, through the plain, and
make the great river round the rock upon which Aurea was built rise
higher and higher till it flooded the whole city. They all promised
gladly, for they were very much afraid of offending Foamina, who
was a very malignant faery, and could do them all harm.
Then the Water-witch flowed away through the plain to the great
river, and, rising up in the principal fountain of the city, she spoke to
all the streams and fountains of the city, in order to make them pour
out as much water as they could to drown the city, and this they
promised to do, so Foamina was now quite satisfied she would be
revenged upon Duldy and Salamander for destroying the Fountain of
Jewels and awaking the Princess Elsa.
At the palace all was festivity and rejoicing, and the King was giving
a great ball in honour of the marriage; for Duldy and the Princess
