Upon being shown into her room, he perceived his cap lying disregarded on a chair: so, pretending he must speak with his patient in private, he sent the nurse out of the room, and in the mean while found an opportunity to put the cap into his pocket. Andolocia then produced some of the apples that were a cure for the horns occasioned by those he had sold her; and having cut them very small, he desired her to eat them immediately; when the horns from that moment began to grow less. The princess was excessively delighted at this; and, thinking that she could not too handsomely reward her physician, took out the purse. Andolocia snatched it from her, clapped on his cap, and wished himself at Famagosta; whither he was immediately conveyed. But as he was in love with the princess, he took care not to give her enough of the apples to remove the horns entirely, that no other gentleman might fall in love with her. [Illustration: _Andolocia going to cure the Princess._ _London. Published by Tabart & Co. Sep. 1804._] Having related his adventures to his brother Ampedo, the latter said he had no inclination to have either the cap or purse, since they brought their possessor into so much danger, and would give them wholly to Andolocia, provided he consented to pay him a handsome allowance as long as he lived. Thus Andolocia kept his purse and cap to himself; but though he had such immense treasures, and, besides, the power of conveying himself where-ever he pleased in a moment, he was not quite happy. Being however convinced that nothing was wanting to make him so but Agrippina, he first set about building a magnificent palace, taking care every now and then to put on his cap and wish himself at the court of London, where he sometimes had the good fortune to see the princess as she took an airing in her carriage, and found means to know if the horns still remained on her head as before. When the palace was finished, Andolocia equipped himself with all the splendour possible; and, taking with him some of the handsomest gentlemen of Famagosta, who looked like great lords, and in addition the most costly jewels that were to be got as presents for the princess, he set out for England to demand her formally in marriage. The king of England received him very courteously: the queen, supposing it impossible that any prince would offer to marry a princess with horns on her head, and perceiving there was no other way of getting the purse, gave her consent also; and the princess Agrippina, who had always wished to bestow on him her hand, said, she really loved the prince, but that she would never bring so great a misfortune on him as to be his wife while she had horns on her head. “Dear princess Agrippina,” replied Andolocia, “then all our wishes will be gratified, for I have the power to make them disappear immediately.”
