I went to luti. That was her pet name for her nurse. What pigeons acts taste like? She said, as she was eating her egg. Not quite a common one, for they always picked out the pinky. Once for her. We'll get you a pigeon sack, and you shall judge for yourself, said the nurse. Oh, no, no, returned her in suddenly, reflecting they might disturb the old lady in getting it, and that even if they did not, she would have one less in consequence. What does strange creator you are? Said the nurse, first to want a thing and then to refuse it. But she did not say it costly, and the princess never minded any remarks that were not unfriendly. Well. You see luti, there are reasons. She returned and said no more, for she did not want to bring up the subject of their former strike. Bless her nurse should offer to go before she had had her grandmother's permission to bring her. Of course she could refuse to take her. But then, what she would believe her, less than ever.
