Then　they　all　fell　into　each　other's　arms；　till　the　fairy　mounted

her　chariot；　placed　Aglantine　by　her　side；　and　Saphir　and

Serpentine　on　the　front　seat。　　She　also　sent　a　message　to　the

Prince's　attendants　that　they　might　travel　slowly　back　to　the

Court　of　King　Peridor；　and　that　the　beautiful　bird　had　really

been　found。　　This　matter　being　comfortably　arranged；　she　started

off　her　chariot。　　But　in　spite　of　the　swiftness　with　which　they

flew　through　the　air；　the　time　passed　even　quicker　for　Saphir　and

Serpentine；　who　had　so　much　to　think　about。



They　were　still　quite　confused　with　the　pleasure　of　seeing　each

other；　when　the　chariot　arrived　at　King　Peridor's　palace。　　He　had

had　himself　carried　to　a　room　on　the　roof；　where　his　nurses

thought　that　he　would　die　at　any　moment。　　Directly　the　chariot

drew　within　sight　of　the　castle　the　beautiful　bird　took　flight；

and；　making　straight　for　the　dying　King；　at　once　cured　him　of　his

sickness。　　Then　she　resumed　her　natural　shape；　and　he　found　that

the　bird　was　no　other　than　the　Queen　Constance；　whom　he　had　long

believed　to　be　dead。　　Peridor　was　rejoiced　to　embrace　his　wife

and　his　son　once　more；　and　with　the　help　of　the　fairies　began　to

make　preparations　for　the　marriage　of　Saphir　and　Serpentine；　who

turned　out　to　be　the　daughter　of　Aglantine　and　Diamantino；　and　as

much　a　princess　as　he　was　a　prince。　　The　people　of　the　kingdom

were　delighted；　and　everybody　lived　happy　and　contented　to　the

end　of　their　lives。
