female · romantic · 50 sec

When we are married! Sir, I'll have you know There's an ogre to be tamed, a gem to be pried From out a dragon's forehead, and three riddles To be solved, each tighter than the last, before A Princess may be wed! (MAR: Even by a King?) For Kings the rules are sterner!--One more riddle, And a mirror that will show her always young. (MAR: And if I do these things, then, will you have me, Rose-Red?) Maybe. And if you do not do them, Maybe. Come--I will race you to the bridge! MAR. (Catching her hand,) Nay, not so fast!--Have you no wish to be Beside me, ever, that you are forever running Ahead?
