FTT: Rumplestiltskin, part 3 of 5

Oh, the drama!  The Miller's daughter, hurt by the fact that the King only loves her for an ability she doesn't even possess, combined with the thought of ever-present death.  The King, conflicted with his desire to be married and rich over his instinct to be merciless and perky.  The Wizard, jealous of the Miller's daughter's alchemaic powers, bolstered by his desire to take a vacation with the King to San Francisco, only to mope that Europeans haven't discovered it yet.  And the "little man", with his mysterious (unless you've read the story!) hidden agenda and his inability to keep the spindle full of straw as the gold shoots out of it.
Such tension!  Can we stand it?
Enjoy!
