Read the passage from The Princess and the Goblin, Chapter 6, Part 2.
“Oh, then, Curdie, you must call me just Irene and no more.”
“No, indeed,” said the nurse indignantly. “He shall do no such thing.”
“What shall he call me, then, Lootie?”
“Your Royal Highness.”
“My Royal Highness! What’s that? No, no, Lootie. I won’t be called names. I don’t like them. You told me once yourself it’s only rude children that call names; and I’m sure Curdie wouldn’t be rude. Curdie, my name’s Irene.”
“Well, Irene,” said Curdie, with a glance at the nurse which showed he enjoyed teasing her; “it is very kind of you to let me call you anything. I like your name very much.”
He expected the nurse to interfere again; but he soon saw that she was too frightened to speak. She was staring at something a few yards before them in the middle of the path, where it narrowed between rocks so that only one could pass at a time.
“It is very much kinder of you to go out of your way to take us home,” said Irene.
