With the poetry there is always the delicious humor. The logic of the Queen, the Princess's self-sufficient, practical step-mother, is not more unanswerable than Gilbertian when she suggests the way for the girl to escape the doom foretold by the stars--that she is to be ate and devoured by a scaly Green Dragon from the North.
