Nine o'clock came, and they were all in the breakfast-room, and no Prince Bulbo as yet. The urn was hissing and humming: the muffins were smoking such a heap of muffins! the eggs were done, there was a pot of raspberry jam, and coffee, and a beautiful chicken and tongue on the side-table. Marmitonio the cook brought in the sausages. Oh, how nice they smelt! 'Where is Bulbo? said the King.
YOU dare to kneel down at Princess Giglio's knees and kiss her hand! 'She's not Princess Giglio! roars out Bulbo. 'She shall be Princess Bulbo, no other shall be Princess Bulbo. 'You are engaged to my cousin! bellows out Giglio. 'I hate your cousin, says Bulbo. 'You shall give me satisfaction for insulting her! cries Giglio in a fury. 'I'll have your life. 'I'll run you through.
That Prince busied himself with the balls, fetes, masquerades, hunting-parties, and so forth, which he thought proper to give on occasion of his daughter's marriage to Prince Bulbo; and let us trust was not sorry in his own heart that his brother's son had escaped the scaffold. It was very cold weather, and the snow was on the ground, and Giglio, who gave his name as simple Mr.
"His father, King Padella. . . ." "His father, King WHO?" says the King. "King Padella is not Giglio's father. My brother, King Savio, was Giglio's father." "It's Prince Bulbo they are hanging, Sire, not Prince Giglio," says the Prime Minister. "You told me to hang the Prince, and I took the ugly one," says Hedzoff.
A splendid luncheon was served to the Royal party, of which the Archbishop, the Chancellor, Duke Hedzoff, Countess Gruffanuff, and all our friends partook, the Fairy Blackstick being seated on the left of King Giglio, with Bulbo and Angelica beside her. You could hear the joy-bells ringing in the capital, and the guns which the citizens were firing off in honor of their Majesties.
It was quite a small party; only the King and Queen, the Princess, whom Bulbo took out, the two Princes, Countess Gruffanuff, Glumboso the Prime Minister, and Prince Bulbo's chamberlain. You may be sure they had a very good dinner let every boy or girl think of what he or she likes best, and fancy it on the table.*
The King had offered to marry her; of course Her Majesty the Queen was jealous: Bulbo had fallen in love with her; of course Angelica was furious: Giglio was in love with her, and oh, what a fury Gruffy was in! 'Give her the rags she wore when she came into the house, and turn her out of it! cries the Queen.
She ran up Fore Street, and down High Street, and through the Market-place, and down to the left, and over the bridge, and up the blind alley, and back again, and round by the Castle, and so along by the Haberdasher's on the right, opposite the lamp-post, and round the square, and she came she came to the EXECUTION PLACE, where she saw Bulbo laying his head on the block!!! The executioner raised his axe, but at that moment the Princess came panting up and cried 'Reprieve! 'Reprieve! screamed the Princess.
He had new clothes given him, was called 'My good cousin' by His Majesty, and was treated with the greatest distinction by everybody. But it was easy to see he was very melancholy. The fact is, the sight of Betsinda, who looked perfectly lovely in an elegant new dress, set poor Bulbo frantic in love with her again.
When he had entered the room, he was observed to carry a rose in his hand, which fell out of it as he tumbled. 'My rose! my rose! cried Bulbo; and his chamberlain dashed forwards and picked it up, and gave it to the Prince, who put it in his waistcoat. Then people wondered why they had laughed; there was nothing particularly ridiculous in him.
