I, however, think that it was no magic. I think that it was the truth of one heart to another, because they knew that something wonderful had happened between them: a passionate love had been born out of onerous duty.
When I remember the smile of the old witch, I know now that it was the smile of a wise woman humoring a child. I know that many foolish people have drunk potions and then waited in vain for love. I know that love is an immense thing, not to be found in a vial.
This in any case I can set down, the king and his queen never spent a day apart in their long lives. And that Christmas Isobel was expecting their first born, the boy who one day would also be king; and his name was Donnet, which means "a gift from God".
