Going with the spoon to Princess Gloria she cried: "Love no more! Magic art Now will freeze your mortal heart!" With this she dashed the contents of the ladle full upon Gloria's breast.
Trot saw the body of the Princess become transparent, so that her beating heart showed plainly.

But now the heart turned from a vivid red to gray, and then to white.

A layer of frost formed about it and tiny icicles clung to its surface.

Then slowly the body of the girl became visible again and the heart was hidden from view.

Gloria seemed to have fainted, but now she recovered and, opening her beautiful eyes, stared coldly and without emotion at the group of witches confronting her.
Blinkie and the others knew by that one cold look that their charm had been successful.
