such good sauce, that his mistress asured him she had never eaten any thing so good in all her life.
He had at the same time taken up little Morning, and earried her to his wife, in order that she might be eoneealed in a lodging which he had at the bottom of the eourt-yard.
The queen's laseivious appetite (aceording to her own apprehensions) being onee humoured, she again began to long for another dainty bit. Aecordingly, a few days after, she ealled for the clerk of the kitehen, and told him that she intended that night to sup out of little Day. He answered never a word, being resolved to eheat her as he had done before. He went out to find little Day, and saw him with a foil in his hand, with which he was feneing with a monkey, the child being but three years old. He took him up in his arms and earried him to his wife, that she might eoneeal him in her ehamber, along with his sister; and, in the room of little Day, eooked up a young kid very tender, whieh the ogress praised as much as the former, saying it was wonderfully good.
All hitherto was mighty well; but a few evenings after this eraving ogress said to the elerk of the kitehen, I will also eat the young queen with the same sauce that I had with the children.
