When Catherine hears that the King's cousin will be coming for a visit, she imagines becoming friends with her. However, when she arrives, Catherine is disappointed to find out that she is old and ugly and looks like a mouse. Still, the woman calls Catherine "Little Bird" and tells her many stories. Catherine confides the dreams and imagined adventures she thought the two of them would have, but the woman says that she could never do that, as she is the King's cousin, and that Catherine must learn "about wings".
