Prince Edward returns from "summary" of The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain
In due time a report went abroad that the great-nephew of the Lord Protector was the true prince, and had been taken by impostors who were carrying him off, no man knew whither. The report flew far and wide, and soon the country was in a state of great excitement. The people were full of eager curiosity to see the prince, and many were the adventures that were invented by the busy brains of men, to account for the mysterious disappearance of the young prince. Meantime, the Lord Protector had taken the prince to his own house, and had treated him as his own son. He had instructed him in all things pertaining to his position, and had shown him the courtesy and respect due to his rank. The prince, on his part, had been quick to learn, and had shown himself to be a true prince in every way. He had won the hearts of all who knew him, and had become the idol of the people. At length the day came when the Lord Protector determined to make known to the prince the secret of his birth. He led him into a room where there hung a portrait of the late King Henry VIII, and there he told him the whole story of his birth and the circumstances that had led to his being taken by impostors. The prince listened with great attention, and when the Lord Protector had finished, he threw himself at his feet, and declared that he would go forth and claim his own. The Lord Protector was greatly moved by the prince's words, and he embraced him with tears in his eyes. He promised to aid him in every way, and to do all in his power to restore him to his rightful place. And so it was that Prince Edward returned to the court, and was received with great joy and acclamation by all the people. The impostors were brought to justice, and were punished for their crimes. And the prince reigned in peace and prosperity, and was beloved by all his subjects. And thus it was that the true prince was restored to his kingdom, and lived happily ever after.
