said the first lady-in-waiting . ` But do n't say anything about it , for I am the Emperor 's daughter . ' ` Oh , no , of course we wo n't ! ' said everyone . The Swineherd -- that is to say , the Prince -LRB- though they did not know he was anything but a true Swineherd -RRB- -- let no day pass without making something , and one day he made a rattle which , when it was turned round , played all the waltzes , galops , and polkas which had ever been known since the world began . ` But that is superbe ! ' said the Princess as she passed by . ' I have never heard a more beautiful composition . Listen ! Go down and ask him what this instrument costs ; but I wo n't kiss him again . ' ` He wants a hundred kisses from the Princess , ' said the lady-in-waiting who had gone down to ask him . ' I believe he is mad ! ' said the Princess , and then she went on ; but she had only gone a few steps when she stopped . ` One ought to encourage art , ' she said . ' I am the Emperor 's daughter ! Tell him he shall have , as before , ten kisses ; the rest he can take from my ladies-in-waiting . ' ` But we do n't at all like being kissed by him , ' said the ladies-in-waiting . ` That 's nonsense , ' said the Princess ; ` and if I can kiss him , you can too . Besides , remember that I give you board and lodging . ' So the ladies-in-waiting had to go down to him again . '
A hundred kisses from the XXXXX , ' said he , ` or each keeps his own . '
