her。　　Their　hopes　faded　as　they　gazed；　but　their　mothers
whispered　together；　saying；　'Surely　this　is　our　lost　princess！'

The　young　king　did　not　know　her　again；　but　he　never　left　her　side
nor　took　his　eyes　from　her。　　And　at　midnight　a　strange　thing
happened。　　A　thick　cloud　suddenly　filled　the　hall；　so　that　for　a
moment　all　was　dark。　　Then　the　mist　suddenly　grew　bright；　and
Dotterine's　godmother　was　seen　standing　there。

'This；'　she　said；　turning　to　the　king；　'is　the　girl　whom　you　have
always　believed　to　be　your　sister；　and　who　vanished　during　the
siege。　　She　is　not　your　sister　at　all；　but　the　daughter　of　the
king　of　a　neighbouring　country；　who　was　given　to　your　mother　to
bring　up；　to　save　her　from　the　hands　of　a　wizard。'

Then　she　vanished；　and　was　never　seen　again；　nor　the
wonder…working　basket　either；　but　now　that　Dotterine's　troubles
were　over　she　could　get　on　without　them；　and　she　and　the　young
king　lived　happily　together　till　the　end　of　their　days。
