第2节

 国王吓了一跳，脸上恢复了血色，激动得喊出声来。科迪把公主举上去，国王弯腰接过她。他把公主紧紧抱在胸前，一颗颗大眼泪流过脸颊和胡子。人群里欢呼声炸开来，马儿们吓得前脚跳了起来。侍卫的盔甲碰撞发出的哗哗声也一起传到山的那边，回声又传了回来。公主依偎在国王怀里，和大家打招呼。国王一直抱着她，直到她把发生的所有事情都告诉大家。但比起说自己，她说的更多还是关于科迪。关于自己的那部分，除了国王和科迪，没有人能听懂。此时，科迪就站在国王马下，轻轻抚摸着白马的脖子。公主在说科迪所作所为时，沃尔特爵士和其他人也纷纷补充。就连洛蒂也加入大伙，夸赞他的勇气和能力。

科迪不说什么，抬头静静地看着国王。科迪的妈妈站在人群外听着，满心欢喜，儿子所做的一切听来让她十分高兴。这时，公主看到了她。

“父王，那是科迪的妈妈！”她说，“看，那儿！她是一个好妈妈，对我可好了！”

国王向她招手，要她上前来。人群自动让开了，科迪妈妈走了过来。国王握住她的手，却说不出话来。

“父王，现在，”公主接着说，“我要告诉你另一件事。很久之前，有一天晚上，在山上科迪帮我们赶走地精，送我们安全回来。到家的时候我答应了给他一个吻，可是洛蒂不让。我不要你怪她，我只要你告诉她，公主要说到做到。”

“孩子啊，公主确实要说到做到，除非说的是不对的，”国王说，“去吧，去给科迪一个吻。”

他说着把公主凑到科迪身边。

公主挨过来，搂住科迪的脖子，一口亲在他的嘴上，说：“呐，科迪！这是我答应你的！”

然后他们都进屋去了，厨子赶紧下厨做饭，仆人们也赶紧回去干活。洛蒂帮艾琳穿上最华丽的衣服，国王则脱下盔甲，穿上王袍。庄园里办起一场盛宴，还派人去让彼得和所有矿工都来参加。公主上床睡觉之后，大伙还狂欢了很久。

PART II

The king started. The colour rushed to his face. He gave an inarticulate cry. Curdie held up the princess, and the king bent down and took her from his arms. As he clasped her to his bosom, the big tears went dropping down his cheeks and his beard. And such a shout arose from all the bystanders that the startled horses pranced and capered, and the armour rang and clattered, and the rocks of the mountain echoed back the noises. The princess greeted them all as she nestled in her father's bosom, and the king did not set her down until she had told them all the story. But she had more to tell about Curdie than about herself, and what she did tell about herself none of them could understand—except the king and Curdie, who stood by the king's knee stroking the neck of the great white horse. And still as she told what Curdie had done, Sir Walter and others added to what she told, even Lootie joining in the praises of his courage and energy.

Curdie held his peace, looking quietly up in the king's face. And his mother stood on the outskirts of the crowd listening with delight, for her son's deeds were pleasant in her ears, until the princess caught sight of her.

'And there is his mother, king-papa!' she said. 'See—there. She is such a nice mother, and has been so kind to me!'

They all parted asunder as the king made a sign to her to come forward. She obeyed, and he gave her his hand, but could not speak.

'And now, king-papa,' the princess went on, 'I must tell you another thing. One night long ago Curdie drove the goblins away and brought Lootie and me safe from the mountain. And I promised him a kiss when we got home, but Lootie wouldn't let me give it him. I don't want you to scold Lootie, but I want you to tell her that a princess must do as she promises.'

'Indeed she must, my child—except it be wrong,' said the king. 'There, give Curdie a kiss.'

And as he spoke he held her towards him.

The princess reached down, threw her arms round Curdie's neck, and kissed him on the mouth, saying: 'There, Curdie! There's the kiss I promised you!'

Then they all went into the house, and the cook rushed to the kitchen and the servants to their work. Lootie dressed Irene in her shiningest clothes, and the king put off his armour, and put on purple and gold; and a messenger was sent for Peter and all the miners, and there was a great and a grand feast, which continued long after the princess was put to bed.
