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,

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.
