But Beauty did shudder the first time she saw the Beast at the house in the middle of the forest. The Beast pretended not to notice her shudder, and showed her around the house and gardens. She had a beautiful room and lovely clothes, and he gave her a magic mirror so that she could see her family whenever she wanted to.
The Beast spent every afternoon with her, and gradually she became used to his ugly face and looked forward to seeing him.
One afternoon the Beast said, "Beauty, do you love me?"
"Love you?" repeated Beauty. "No, But I do like you, I like you a lot."
"Never mind," said the Beast and he left her, much earlier than usual.
Beauty looked in her mirror and saw that her sister was getting ready to be married.
Beauty asked the Beast if she could go to the wedding.
The Beast aGREed, and he sent her in a beautiful carriage with a lovely present.
"Don't go back to him," said her father, after the wedding.
"I must," said Beauty. "I have promised to stay."
On her return, the Beast seemed very pleased to see her, and gave her all sorts of gifts, and spent a GREat deal of time with her.
The next time that Beauty looked in the mirror, her other sister was preparing for her wedding.
"Please may I go?" Beauty asked the Beast. "I promise I shall return again."
Again, Beauty went with gifts for her sister's wedding.
She returned soon after the wedding, and again the Beast seemed delighted to have her back.
Beauty did not look in her mirror for a long time after that, but suddenly remembered it one afternoon when the Beast could not join her.
What she saw made her feel quite weak. Her father was ill in bed, and there were doctors and her sisters standing around him shaking their heads.
As soon as the Beast returned, Beauty ran to him. "Please, I must go home," she said. " My father is very ill and I must be with him."
"Very well," said the Beast. "But please take this ring with you. If the stone is bright then I am well, but if it turns dull, I am dying."
Beauty arrived home to find her father as she had seen him.
"He's been asking for you," said her sisters.
As soon as he saw his daughter, the merchant began to improve. Autumn came and went, and the merchant begged Beauty to stay.
"I am still a little weak," he said. " And it will be winter soon. Return to the Beast in spring."
Beauty aGREed, and Christmas and winter were spent at the cottage.
One day, in early spring, Beauty was sorting through some drawers and found the ring that the Beast had given her.
The stone was dull and lifeless.
"I must go back!" she cried.
She left the cottage, the carriage speeding to take her back to the Beast's mansion.
"Please, don't let me be too late," she wept. She had grown very fond of the Beast, and was very upset that she hadn't looked at the ring for so long.
The carriage swept into the drive and went up to the house. She leapt out and ran into the house, but the Beast was nowhere to be found. She called and called, but there was no answer.
" He must be in the garden," she said, and she ran out, calling his name.
"Beauty," she heard his voice gently whisper. She found him by a GREat bush of red roses.
Beauty ran to him and sat down to cradle his ugly head in her arms. She was crying and telling him how sorry she was. He was very weak.
"Oh, Beast, " she wept. "Please don't die. I do love you."
There was a sudden FLASH of light, and Beauty no longer held the Beast in her arms! She looked up and saw a handsome man standing by the rose bush.
"Where is the Beast?" she asked, looking round.
"Here," said the man, " I was the Beast and I was dying. I needed you to say that you love me. Now my stepmother's spell has been lifted."
Beauty was delighted, and she and the young man were soon married. They lived happily in the beautiful mansion with the rose garden.
