Question

how did the princess signal to the youth​

Answer 1

Answer:

follow me

Explanation:

The semi-barbaric princess fell in love with a young man who was beneath her social station in "The Lady or the Tiger?" by Frank Stockton, and the young man ends up in the arena. In the arena, the semi-barbaric king blithely allows justice to happen. He considers this to be the most impartial justice because the accused gets to choose a door, which means his fate is in his own hands.

Behind one door is a ravishing beauty and behind the other is a ravenous tiger; the accused will marry the former or be eaten by the latter and justice will be perfectly served. In this case, the young lover enters the arena with absolute confidence, knowing beyond all doubt that the princess, the woman he loves, has discovered the "secret of the doors." So, the first thing he does is meet her eyes. She is pale and nervous, but she returns his gaze and her lover can see that he was right--she does know behind which door is the lady and behind which door is the tiger.
