The king immediately commanded the officers of
his wardrobe to run and fetch one of his best suits
for the Lord Marquis of Carabas.
The king received him very courteously. And,
because the king's fine clothes gave him a striking

proportioned, the king's daughter took a secret
inclination to him. The Marquis of Carabas had
only to cast two or three respectful and somewhat
tender glances at her but she fell head over heels
in love with him. The king asked him to enter the
coach and join them on their drive.
