"Ugly as ever!" he said with a shudder.

Ruggedo struck another match, while they all turned away.
"No," announced the former King; "that didn't break the charm, either.
It must be the kiss of a Fairy that is required--or else my memory has failed me altogether." "Polly," said Betsy, pleadingly, "won't you try ?" "Of course I will!" answered Polychrome, with a merry laugh.
