Dropping Info. And Frogs

The heroine knows, of course, that the prince and oldest son talking about how the king set him and his brothers to finding brides is in the Frog Princess.

The trick is that it takes time for her to think about it, and the prince is speaking briskly, and doesn't have too much to say. She can't stand there and think all day.

And the Frog Princess is not one of those tales that everyone knows and will recognize with an allusion.
