In Their Own Words
"'Why, where can you have been, princess?' asked the nurse, taking her in her arms. 'It's very unkind of you to hide away so long. I began to be afraid--'"
"'What nonsense you are talking, princess!' said the nurse."
"'Did you expect me to believe you, princess?' asked the nurse coldly."
