"Fear not, dear Barbara, we shall behold the prince in all his glory," cried the snowflake. Then all at once there was a strange hub bub in the forest; for it was midnight, and the spirits came from their hiding places to prowl about and to disport themselves. FEAR NOT DEAR BARBARA WE SHALL BEHOLD THE PRINCE IN ALL HIS GLORY CRIED THE SNOWFLAKE THEN ALL AT ONCE THERE WAS A STRANGE HUBBUB IN THE FOREST FOR IT WAS MIDNIGHT AND THE SPIRITS CAME FROM THEIR HIDING PLACES TO PROWL ABOUT AND TO DISPORT THEMSELVES
 Barbara's cheek, the wind whisked off to the city again. And we can imagine that it played rare pranks with the proud, haughty folk on its return; for the wind, as you know, is no respecter of persons. "Dear Barbara," said the snowflake, "I will watch with thee for the coming of the prince." And Barbara was glad, for she loved the little snowflake, that was so pure and innocent and gentle. "Tell us, O pine-tree," cried the vine, "what do you see in the east? Has the prince yet entered the forest?" "The east is full of black clouds," said the pine-tree, "and the winds that hurry to the hill-tops sing of the snow." "But the city is full of brightness," said the fir. "I can see the lights in the cathedral, and I can hear wondrous music about the prince and his coming." "Yes, they are singing of the prince in the cathedral," said Barbara sadly. "But we shall see him first," whispered the vine reassuringly. "Yes, the prince will come through the forest," said the little snowdrop gleefully. UN WITH THEM THEN HAVING DROPPED THE LITTLE SNOWFLAKE ON BARBARA'S CHEEK THE WIND WHISKED OFF TO THE CITY AGAIN AND WE CAN IMAGINE THAT IT PLAYED RARE PRANKS WITH THE PROUD HAUGHTY FOLK ON HIS RETURN FOR THE WIND AS YOU KNOW IS NO RESPECTRE OF PERSONS DEAR BARBARA SAID THE SNOWFLAKE I WILL WATCH WITH THEE FOR THE COMING OF THE PRINCE AND BARBARA WAS GLAD FOR SHE LOVED THE LITTLE SNOWFLAKE THAT WAS SO PURE AND INNOCENT AND GENTLE TELL US O PINE TREE CRIED THE VINE WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE EAST HAS THE PRINCE YET ENTERED THE FOREST THE EAST IS FULL OF BLACK CLOUDS SAID THE PINE TREE AND THE WINDS THAT HURRY YET TO THE HILL TOP SING OF THE SNOW BUT THE CITY IS FULL OF BRIGHTNESS SAID THE FIR I CAN SEE THE LIGHTS IN THE CATHEDRAL AND I CAN HEAR WONDROUS MUSIC ABOUT THE PRINCE AND HIS COMING YES THOU SINGING OF THE PRINCE IN THE CATHEDRAL SAID BARBARA SADLY BUT WE SHALL SEE HIM FIRST WHISPERED THE VINE REASSURINGLY YES THE PRINCE WILL COME THROUGH THE FOREST SAID THE LITTLE SNOWDROP GLEEFULLY
