` It has my gracious approval . ' And then he nodded pleasantly , and examined the empty loom , for he would not say that he could see nothing . His whole Court round him looked and looked , and saw no more than the others ; but they said like the Emperor , ` Oh ! it is beautiful ! ' And they advised him to wear these new and magnificent clothes for the first time at the great procession which was soon to take place . ` Splendid ! Lovely ! Most beautiful ! ' went from mouth to mouth ; everyone seemed delighted over them , and the Emperor gave to the impostors the title of Court weavers to the Emperor . Throughout the whole of the night before the morning on which the procession was to take place , the impostors were up and were working by the light of over sixteen candles . The people could see that they were very busy making the Emperor 's new clothes ready . They pretended they were taking the cloth from the loom , cut with huge scissors in the air , sewed with needles without thread , and then said at last , ` Now the clothes are finished ! ' The Emperor came himself with his most distinguished knights , and each impostor held up his arm just as if he were holding something , and said , ` See ! here are the breeches ! Here is the coat ! Here the cloak ! ' and so on . ` Spun clothes are so comfortable that one would imagine one had nothing on at all ; but that is the beauty of it ! ' ` Yes , ' said all the knights , but they could see nothing , for there was nothing there . ` Will it please your Majesty graciously to take off your clothes , ' said the impostors , ` then we will put on the new clothes , here before the mirror . '
The Emperor took off all his clothes , and the impostors placed themselves before him as if they were putting on each part of his new XXXXX which was ready , and the Emperor turned and bent himself in front of the mirror .
