There were stalls for everything you could possibly want--and for a great many things that if you wanted here and now, want would be your master.

There were pineapples and peaches in heaps--and stalls of crockery and glass things, beautiful shapes and glorious colours, there were stalls for necklaces, and clasps, and bracelets, and brooches, for woven stuffs, and furs, and embroidered linen.

The children had never seen half so many beautiful things together, even at Liberty's.

It seemed no time at all before the woman said-- 'It's nearly time now.

We ought to be getting on towards the palace.
It's as well to be early.' So they went to the palace, and when they got there it was more splendid than anything they had seen yet.
For it was glowing with colours, and with gold and silver and black and white--like some magnificent embroidery.
