The king 's face was slightly clouded . `` This is , indeed , a happy coincidence , '' said he . `` It was my intention to ask an interview with you to-morrow , and now you come forward voluntarily to meet my wishes . At ten in the morning I shall be with you , and I also have something to ask . '' `` I will then await you at ten o'clock , and make known my request . '' `` And when I have granted it , my sister , it will be your part to fulfil my wishes also . '' The Princess Amelia lay the whole of the following night , with wide - open eyes and loudly-heating heart , pale and breathless upon her couch .
