"All right," said Tot.
Although they enjoyed their dinner, the little party seemed to be unusually silent and thoughtful, and finally Dot asked:
"What shall we do next? We have seen all of the Seven Valleys now."
"When we have finished our dinner we will return to my palace in the Fourth Valley," replied the Queen, gaily.
A long pause followed this remark, and it was broken by Tot saying in a loud and decided voice:
"I want to go home!"
The Queen looked up quickly, with an anxious expression upon her face, and asked, "Do you really?"
"Yes. I want to see my mamma!" declared the boy.
"And leave this beautiful country, where you are a Prince?"
"Yes," said Tot decidedly.
