More of A Life of A Princess

Here's more, guys! Though this part is really sad! But, Bell's mother is a terrible perosn, who would blame her if she was?

Bell took his hand, then they set off together, walking up the hill.

Once Bell was home, she knew she could court William. But she also knew that her mother would never agree to that. Bell, although, thought she just might have a chance. So she tried to ask her mother the next day, as soon as she could.

Early, the next morning, before she went to see William, she asked mother if she could court him.

"Um, mother...is it okay..." she started.

"Oh, speak up!" mother broke in.

"Well, is it okay, maybe...I could court William?"

First she was stunned, then she said, "Why, child! Never! Never will I let you!"

"Oh, mother!" Bell burst into tears, "please, please? Let me! Please, mother!"

"I will never let you do of such thing! You may visit him today, but that s courting enough!" Then came another outburst of tears from Bell's eyes, but she still went to see William.

When William saw that Bell's eyes were red from tears, he cried, "What's the matter?"

Then Bell felt truly embarresed and said, "I'd rather not talk about it."

"Oh, that's fine." he said kindly, with a smile.
