Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast Synopsis

Excerpt from Beauty and the Beast: Tales of Home

The Prince burst into a yelling, shrieking fit Of laugh ter. Instantly the yellow-haired serfs in waiting, the Cal mucks at the hall-door, and the half-witted dwarf who crawled around the table in his tow shirt, began laughing in chorus, as violently as they could. The Princess Mar tha and Prince Boris laughed also; and while the Old man's eyes were dimmed with streaming tears of mirth, quickly exchanged nods. The sound extended all over the castle, and was heard outside of the walls.

Father said Boris, let us have the festival, and Mishka shall perform again. Prince Paul of Kostroma would strangle, if he could see him.
