“Will you please tell me how?” asked Dorothy, who was very much surprised to find that the Prince seemed to know exactly what she was thinking about all the time.
They stopped dancing and the Prince said:
“A little girl’s face is a mirror and shows all her thoughts.”
“I don’t quite understand,” replied Dorothy; “do you mean that you can tell what kind of little girls we are, by our faces?”
“That is just what I mean,” answered Prince Jingle. “Come with me and I’ll prove it to you.”
Dorothy followed the Prince down the long hall until he stopped at a door that opened into a road.
“Must you go outside to prove it?” asked Dorothy, who was loath to leave the beautiful castle.
“Yes, indeed,” said Prince Jingle; “we don’t have anything like that in our castle.”
At last the Prince stopped in front of a large building. Over the entrance it read in large letters
