      And all at once Gooseberry was gone. But around

      the Gypsy King’s neck hung a chain that hadn’t

      been there a moment before. From the chain

      dangled a single glass bead, and inside the glass

      bead, tiny as a fingernail, was poor Gooseberry.

      ‘That was a bit uncalled-for,’ said Princess

      45

      Snowflake indignantly.

      But the Gypsy

      King merely threw

      back his head

      and laughed

      once more.

      laughed the Gypsy King.

      Actually the Gypsy King laughed quite a lot

      more than that, I only wrote a tiny bit of it. All

      told, he stood there laughing for over six hours,

      and Princess Snowflake could do nothing but

      look on helplessly, because she kept thinking,

      Surely it’s got to end soon, no one can laugh for

      this long, I’ll say something to him in a minute.

      When he’s stopped laughing.

      But it just went on

      and on.

      Eventually, just as Princess Snowflake had

      made up her mind that enough was enough

      and she was about to tell him off for laughing

      so much and wasting paper, the Gypsy King

      turned, his cloak sweeping out behind him –

      and in a flash he had vanished, just as if he had

      never been there at all.

      Poor Princess Snowflake. She was so distraught

      that as soon as she got back to the Winter Palace,

      she took to her icy bed and lay there with her

      face buried in the pillow, and none of the kindly

      old witches could rouse her. All that evening

      they knocked upon her chamber door, singing:
