Udo was evidently longing to say yes, but hesitated.
"I wonder if I dare."
"It's very good sherbet," said Wiggs, to encourage him.
"I'm sure it is, my dear. But the question is, Do I like sherbet?"
"You can't help knowing if you like sherbet."
"Don't bother him, Wiggs," said Hyacinth, "a venison sandwich, dear Prince?"
"The question is, Do I like venison sandwiches?"
"I do," announced Woggs to any one who was interested.
"You see," explained Udo, "I really don't know what I like."
They were all surprised at this, particularly Woggs. Belvane, who was enjoying herself too much to wish to do anything but listen, said nothing, and it was the Princess who obliged Udo by asking him what he meant. It was a subject upon which he was longing to let himself go to somebody.
