“And what shall the dream-elf’s be made of?” asked Iris-Wing.
“Oh, of Eyebright and Wake-Robin,” said Touchstone.
“And Rhymo’s shall be made of Laurel leaves,” said Rainbow.
“Why not of Poet-Asters?” asked Touchstone.
But the other elves paid no attention to this joke, and Touchstone continued: “When it comes to my turn, I want to decide for myself.”
“And Lightning, our swift-footed messenger’s girdle shall be made of the common Speedwell,” said Iris-Wing.
“And Tono’s shall be made of the Bluebells of Scotland,” said Rainbow.
“And mine,” said Touchstone, “shall be made of the Jewel-weed, for a jester is always a jewel.”
“And Rainbow’s,” said the flower-elf, “shall be made of the blue Forget-Me-Not, for he will always be remembered on account of his sweetness and tact.”
“And Iris-Wing’s shall be made of the elves’ favorite flower, the tall pink Foxglove,” said Rainbow.
