`` No excuse would be necessary , '' answered the Beast . `` If she comes at all she must come willingly . On no other condition will I have her . See if any one of them is courageous enough , and loves you well enough to come and save your life . You seem to be an honest man , so I will trust you to go home . I give you a month to see if either of your daughters will come back with you and stay here , to let you go free . If neither of them is willing , you must come alone , after bidding them good-by for ever , for then you will belong to me . And do not imagine that you can hide from me , for if you fail to keep your word I will come and fetch you ! '' added the Beast grimly . The merchant accepted this proposal , though he did not really think any of his daughters could be persuaded to come . He promised to return at the time appointed , and then , anxious to escape from the presence of the Beast , he asked permission to set off at once . But the Beast answered that he could not go until next day . `` Then you will find a horse ready for you , '' he said . `` Now go and eat your supper , and await my orders . '' The poor merchant , more dead than alive , went back to his room , where the most delicious supper was already served on the little table which was drawn up before a blazing fire . But he was too terrified to eat , and only tasted a few of the dishes , for fear the Beast should be angry if he did not obey his orders . When he had finished he heard a great noise in the next room , which he knew meant that the Beast was coming . As he could do nothing to escape his visit , the only thing that remained was to seem as little afraid as possible ; so when the Beast appeared and asked roughly if he had supped well , the merchant answered humbly that he had , thanks to his host 's kindness . Then the Beast warned him to remember their agreement , and to prepare his daughter exactly for what she had to expect . `` Do not get up to-morrow , '' he added , `` until you see the sun and hear a golden bell ring .
Then you will XXXXX your breakfast waiting for you here , and the horse you are to ride will be ready in the courtyard .
