CHAPTER 14

Fortunately for you,” said the Crone of the Blighted Waste, “the same prince ought to do it. I don’t think you’ll have to find—what is it—one hundred and seventeen new princes? Plus however many for the quail. That would be quite daunting.”

Harriet groaned. The thought of one prince was daunting. Prince Cecil had been . . . well, pretty awful. Finding another prince to kiss him . . .

She groaned again, with feeling.

The crone fixed her bright black eyes on Harriet, who had a feeling that she was missing something. (The trouble with witches is that they are much like a certain kind of teacher, and they won’t tell you the answer to a question if they believe you’re capable of working it out on your own.)

“I’ll have to convince him to kiss all the newts too, I guess,” said Harriet. She didn’t mind the hunting newts herself, who were generally good-natured and liked having their gill-slits scratched, but a stuck-up prince might certainly balk at kissing a newt.
