   Anna took the compliment well; with a giggle and a hum of pride in her little heart. She was glad her mama liked it, for she was quite proud of it herself. 

   ”I think so too!” she declared, swinging her feet a little, “I like it better than the last one.”

   Her last picture was of one of the mares, but the princess had stared at it for quite a while after drawing it, and after a moment simply stated that horses were too hard, and then moved on to the drawing they had now.

   "Well,“ Idun said, leaning in so her chin was almost on Anna’s shoulder, "I think all your drawings are lovely. And I’m sure your Papa and sister will love this one too.”

   True, it was sometimes difficult to make out what her child had drawn, but she always got an explanation.

   "Are you going to do another drawing? Or do you want to do something new?“ she enquired. Keeping her daughter occupied while Elsa finished her lessons was testing sometimes, but enjoyable nonetheless. Anna was a lively and sweet little thing.
