The Dream Coach

- Anne Parrish and Dillwyn Parrish

Then the little Princess went to say good morning to her Mother and Father, and this is the way she went.
First came two heralds in forest green, blowing on silver trumpets. Then came the Father Confessor and his little lace-covered boys. Then came the Ladies-In-Waiting in their bright brocades, with feathers in their powdered hair, and after each lady came a little page to carry her handkerchief on a satin cushion. The ten pages of the Princess were next, and after them came the Royal Baby's Own Regiment of Dragoons in white and scarlet. And last came four gigantic men wearing white loin cloths and enormous turbans of flamingo pink and carrying a great canopy of cloth-of-silver fringed with pearls, and under this, very tiny, and looking, in her spreading gown, like a little white hollyhock out for a walk, came the Princess.
