"I heard the plot described at midnight recently while resting in the public garden. The conspiracy was led by Fraggood and Kinggron. They were assisted by a number of the princes, among whom are Bimbokrak and Scramgee. This foul movement has been going on for many a day, but until last week the conspirators could not agree on a plan.
This is well, for before him we would not dare to complain. The king is in possession of far less power of discernment than he, and with him, I trust, we must be successful." "But," answered Bimbokrak, "we must have some cause something specific to offer as a ground of complaint against him before the king, or the movement will utterly fail, and prove disastrous to ourselves."
By this time the "committee" had arrived at the door of the mansion. Fraggood led the way into the office; but the first president was not there. "Hark ye!" whispered Fraggood. "Hark!" "It is the voice of prayer!" said Bimbokrak. "Silently! Silently!" answered Scramgee, "or he will surely hear us." "Follow me!" said the president. "Tread lightly!"
I laugh to scorn their blasphemous law!" "If we find him in prayer before his God," said Fraggood, "we shall not be called upon to offer any excuse for our calling. We will ask forgiveness for the intrusion and retire. But if we find him otherwise, our object seems reasonable indeed." "May the gods grant that we need not speak of our object," said Bimbokrak.
