The days slipped by. Beauty was pleased with her discovery, but she wondered what it would be like to be kissed. A hand and a mouth, after all, were two different things, and the touch of lips would be different than fingers. If only Elliot hadn't interrupted the man at the wedding--but she remembered the wine on his breath, and was glad that he hadn't been her first kiss.

She also thought of the Beast's request to kiss her, and worried it over in her mind. Should she say yes, what might he ask her next? Could his great paws touch her as gently as the invisible hands? He was too much tooth and claw, she thought, and her father's words came to mind: the Beast might hurt her without trying, without knowing. But a cat could sheath its claws to play gently, and she remembered the silky fur of the barn cats at the cottage and the tickling feel of whiskers when one of them sniffed her face delicately. If she let the Beast kiss her, Beauty thought, it might feel the same.

She could not forget the Beast's riddle either, though he hadn't mentioned it again. It followed quickly on these frequent thoughts of kissing, but she had already decided she would never solve it. Each time she wondered, why would the Beast like to kiss me? she immediately thought, not because I'm pretty, for that answer's too obvious and too vain, and moved on to other thoughts.

The Beast often asked after her family, and she had told him nearly everything about them, even his status among them as "Aunt Margaret." Though she did not recount all she had seen, Beauty told him of Elliot with the woman and child, who she felt must be her nephew. She divined in her vision the reason for her brother's unhappiness at the wedding, and repeated his words to the Beast: "lucky in love, unlucky in life."

The Beast tilted his shaggy head to one side thoughtfully and said, "He must have been very sad, when you lived in the country, to be parted from her."

"If he was," Beauty replied, "I never would have noticed, for I was always playing out of doors. But I think she must be a dancing girl, for Elliot and Daniel were always gone to entertainment houses, when we lived in town."

"There are certainly entertainment houses full of nothing but dancing girls," the Beast said.

"For horizontal dancing," Beauty said glibly, for she had found the meaning in Elliot's other comment at the wedding and felt rather proud of the knowledge.

The Beast stared at her with his yellow eyes wide, two great shining orbs of surprise. "Yes," he said finally. "Indeed. For horizontal dancing."
