before the looking-glass.

"So the Emperor walked on, under the high canopy, through the
streets of the metropolis, and all the people in the streets and at
the windows cried out, 'Oh, how beautiful the Emperor's new dress
is!' In short there was nobody but wished to cheat himself into the
belief that he saw the Emperor's new clothes.

"And then all the people cried out, 'He has nothing on!'
