And the king said to himself, \"All the queens of my acquaintance have children, some three, some seven, and some as many as twelve; and my queen has not one. I feel ill-used.\" So he made up his mind to be cross with his wife about it. But she bore it all like a good patient queen as she was. Then the king grew very cross indeed. But the queen pretended to take it all as a joke, and a very good one too. \"Why don't you have any daughters, at least?\" said he. \"I don't say sons; that might be too much to expect.\" \"I am sure, dear king, I am very sorry,\" said the queen. \"So you ought to be,\" retorted the king; \"you are not going to make a virtue of that, surely.\" But he was not an ill-tempered king, and in any matter of less moment would have let the queen have her own way with all his heart. This, however, was an affair of state. The queen smiled. \"You must have patience with a lady, you know, dear king,\" said she. She was, indeed, a very nice queen, and heartily sorry that she could not oblige the king immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3873254\"\u003eGeorge MacDonald\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544709529\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544709528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44706160181485,"sku":"9781544709529","price":8.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_58cb9380-8230-4df8-8896-8b676e2c8d9c.jpg?v=1703950915","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-light-princess-and-other-fairy-stories-9781544709529","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
