“What? You can’t mean that seriously! Since when have you liked green eyes?”
She laughed. “Don’t worry. Your eyes are the best of all. For me, at least. But I think she likes green eyes best.”
“She’s not in love with that arrogant young man!”
“I tell you, she is. And he’s just like you when you were younger.”
“What? That…! He’s not in the least like me. I never ordered you about, never!”
She grinned. “You did, too!”
“Only when it was necessary.” He tipped his hat back on his head. “I just want him to leave her alone.”
“You’re jealous.”
“Well, yes,” he admitted. “Isn’t that normal? When I next see him, I’m going to tell him to keep his hands off her.”

He threw his walking stick in the air and caught it nimbly as it came down. “I’m ready. How about you, Princess?”
“Ready when you are.”
