The dragon consented unwillingly to take this message, and ambled clumsily away among the flower-beds. When he came back, he found the King pacing restlessly up and down. "Can't you keep still?" growled the dragon. "Your ridiculous name is enough to make any one giddy without " "What did the Lady Whimsical say?" interrupted King Grumbelo, impatiently.
Instantly there was confusion within the shack. The men scattered in all directions, while one old hag, the only woman in the shack besides Dora, hobbled over to a stool and took up the mending of a huge net where she had left off.
