retorted the parrot, and then he added grumblingly in Trot's ear, "Blue feathers don't make bluebirds." "Really," said the girl, standing up and bowing respectfully to the Pinkies, "we are not Blueskins, although we are wearing the blue uniforms of the Boolooroo and have just escaped from the Blue Country. If you will look closely, you will see that our skins are white."
"Never mind," said the Boolooroo, "I'll attend to them in a minute. I'm busy now." "They are marching on the City," said the frightened messenger. "If you delay, Most High and Mighty One, we shall all be captured. You'd better save your City first and do your patching afterward." "What!" roared the Boolooroo. "Dare you dictate to me?" But he was impressed by the man's logic.
"How wicked!" cried Indigo. And then all six held up their hands as if horrified. The Boolooroo laughed. "You'll know how to bring her to time, I imagine," he remarked, "and if the girl isn't reasonable and obedient, send her to me and I'll have her patched. Now, then, take her away." But Trot was obstinate and wouldn't budge a step. "Keep us together, your Majesty," begged Cap'n Bill.
"Here's a lovely how-d'y'-do We're going to fight the Boolooroo! We'll get the Six Snubnoses, too, And make 'em all feel mighty blue." "Either that or the other thing," said Trot. "Anyhow, we're in for it." Much to the surprise of the Earth people, the Pinkies made no objection whatever to undertaking the adventure.
At once the soldiers seized the Princesses and notwithstanding their snarls and struggles marched them to their rooms and locked them in. While they were gone on this errand, the Boolooroo begged to be released, whining and wailing for fear the knife would fall upon him. But Trot did not think it safe to unbind him just then.
"We'll manage to take care o' you." "Oh, I'm all right," answered Trot with fine courage. "I'm not afraid of these gawkies." But the princesses pulled her after them, and soon they had all disappeared into one of the entrances to the Blue Palace. "Now, then," said the Boolooroo. "I will instruct you two in your future duties. I shall make old Moonface "
"But how did they get to Sky Island?" inquired the third snubnosed one. "By means of a Magic Umbrella, which I have captured and put away in my Treasure Chamber," replied the Boolooroo. "What will you do with the monsters, papa?" asked the fourth Princess. "I haven't decided yet," said the Boolooroo. "They're curiosities, you see, and may serve to amuse us.
For a moment the prisoners could not imagine what had happened to them, but presently half a dozen Blueskins, resembling in shape and costume their ruler but less magnificently dressed, stepped in front of them and bowed low to the Boolooroo. "Your orders, most Mighty, Flighty, Tight and Righty Monarch, have been obeyed," said the leader. "Very well, Captain.
When this was accomplished, the Boolooroo leaned over to try to discover why the frame rolled away seemingly of its own accord and he was the more puzzled because it had never done such a thing before. As he stood, bent nearly double, his back was toward the billygoat, which in their interest and excitement the soldiers were holding in a careless manner.
"Through the Fog Bank?" asked Cap'n Bill doubtfully. "And let the Boolooroo capture us again?" demanded Button-Bright with a shiver. "An' have to wait on the Snubnoses instead of bein' a Queen?" said Trot. "You must remember that conditions have changed, and you are now a powerful Ruler," replied Rosalie. "The Pinkies are really a great nation, and they are pledged to obey your commands.
