The Lady or the Tiger

In the very olden time, there lived a semi-barbaric king. This kig had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies. She was also semi-barbaric.
When a subject was accused of a crime of sufficient importance to interest the king, they would be sent to trial. The victim must choose between two doors. One containing a spouse for you to marry, meaning you are innocent. The other holding a hungry tiger to kill you, meaning you are guilty
One day, the king catches the princess and her lover sneaking around together. He then became furious.
I love you!

He did not hesitate nor waver inregard to his duty in the premises. The youth was immediately cast into prison, and a day was appointed for his trial in the king’s arena.

A door beneath him opened, and the accused subject stepped out into the amphitheater. Directly opposite him, on the other side of the enclosed space, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side.
When her lover turned and looked at her, and his eyes met hers, he saw, by the power of quick perception, (...) that she knew behind which door crouched a tiger, and behind which stood the lady.Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady?...
She raised her hand and made a slight, quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw her.
