# The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault, \_thomas Bodkin\_, part 2, sentence 102

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
The King handed her out of the chariot, and she approved every thing he had done; but, as she had a very great foresight, she thought, when the Princess should awake, she might not know what to do with herself, being all alone in this old palace; and this was what she did: She touched with her wand every thing in the palace (except the King and the Queen), governesses, maids of honour, ladies of the bedchamber, gentlemen, officers, stewards, cooks, under-cooks, scullions, guards, with their beef-eaters, pages, footmen; she likewise touched all the horses which were in the stables, as well as their grooms, the great dogs in the outward court, and pretty little Mopsey too, the Princess's little spaniel-bitch, which lay by her on the bed.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** King, Princess, twelve thousand, this, horses, little spaniel bitch · **What happens:** hand, approve, do, have, think, awake · **To what, where:** little Mopsey, Princess, chariot, thing, great foresight, old palace · **Speech:** someone speaks here
