"Aunt Frideswide, how could you?" Princess Rowena glared at the diminutive figure in the sorceress's robes across the amethyst, emerald, topaz, ruby, and daisy that had dropped from her lips as she spoke.

Frideswide winced. Oh, that voice! How could such a small girl have such a loud, shrill voice? "Rowena, dear, remember your manners! Aren't you even going to say good morning? And do, please, moderate your voice."

"I can still say 'morning,'" Rowena growled, "but I'm deleting the other word from my vocabulary. Rose thorns hurt when they scrape across your lips." The pile of precious stones and flowers on the table in front of her grew. "Why did you do it?"

"But, my darling child, it was always your favorite fairy tale--it seemed the perfect gift for your fourteenth birthday, and besides it will add to the value of your dowry, now that you've reached marriageable age. I know your father was worried about that." Really, Frideswide thought to herself, what's the matter with the girl? It's an elegant solution to all of our problems, and she's behaving like a sulky brat.
