“I could love her very much, “he thought.” I have never seen any rich lady so beautiful and so good.”
The day came for the marriage. But the people did not know about Griselda. The marquis had not told anyone about her.
The great house was very full. Many people had come from far and near to stay in it. The marquis had bought beautiful dresses and jewels. Everything was ready.
“Follow me,” said the marquis to all the lords and ladies. He led the way out of his great house towards the little huts where some of his people lived.
The lords and ladies asked each other, “What is he going to do?” But they followed him.
