We have come to ask if you would like to marry her . She is as good as she is beautiful , and we will give her a bushel of gold pieces for her dowry . ' ` Oh ! with all my heart , ' replied the King , ` and I will make her very happy . She shall have whatever she likes , and I shall love her dearly ; only I warn you that if she is not as pretty as you have told me , I will have your heads cut off . ' ` Oh ! certainly , we quite agree to that , ' said the brothers in one breath . ` Very well . Off with you into prison , and stay there until the Princess arrives , ' said the King of the Peacocks . And the Princes were so sure that Rosette was far prettier than her portrait that they went without a murmur . They were very kindly treated , and that they might not feel dull the King came often to see them . As for Rosette 's portrait that was taken up to the palace , and the King did nothing but gaze at it all day and all night . As the King and the Prince had to stay in prison , they sent a letter to the Princess telling her to pack up all her treasures as quickly as possible , and come to them , as the King of the Peacocks was waiting to marry her ; but they did not say that they were in prison , for fear of making her uneasy . When Rosette received the letter she was so delighted that she ran about telling everyone that the King of the Peacocks was found , and she was going to marry him . Guns were fired , and fireworks let off . Everyone had as many cakes and sweetmeats as he wanted . And for three days everybody who came to see the Princess was presented with a slice of bread-and-jam , a nightingale 's egg , and some hippocras . After having thus entertained her friends , she distributed her dolls among them , and left her brother 's kingdom to the care of the wisest old men of the city , telling them to take charge of everything , not to spend any money , but save it all up until the King should return , and above all , not to forget to feed her peacock . Then she set out , only taking with her her nurse , and the nurse 's daughter , and the little green dog Frisk . They took a boat and put out to sea , carrying with them the bushel of gold pieces , and enough dresses to last the Princess ten years if she wore two every day , and they did nothing but laugh and sing .
The nurse asked the boatman : ` Can you take us , can you take us to the XXXXX of the peacocks ? '
