`` Beautiful Princess , '' cried the Dwarf suddenly , throwing himself on his knees before her , `` I flatter myself that you will not be displeased at her choice when I tell you that it is to me she has promised the happiness of marrying you . '' `` You ! '' cried Bellissima , starting back . `` My mother wishes me to marry you ! How can you be so silly as to think of such a thing ? '' `` Oh ! it is n't that I care much to have that honor , '' cried the Dwarf angrily ; `` but here are the lions coming ; they 'll eat you up in three mouthfuls , and there will be an end of you and your pride . '' And , indeed , at that moment the poor Princess heard their dreadful howls coming nearer and nearer . `` What shall I do ? '' she cried . `` Must all my happy days come to an end like this ? '' The malicious Dwarf looked at her and began to laugh spitefully . `` At least , '' said he , `` you have the satisfaction of dying unmarried . A lovely Princess like you must surely prefer to die rather than be the wife of a poor little dwarf like myself . '' `` Oh , do n't be angry with me , '' cried the Princess , clasping her hands . `` I 'd rather marry all the dwarfs in the world than die in this horrible way . '' `` Look at me well , Princess , before you give me your word , '' said he . `` I do n't want you to promise me in a hurry . '' `` Oh ! '' cried she , `` the lions are coming .
I have XXXXX at you enough .
