He was much too polite to alarm the Princess, his lovely guest, with any unnecessary rumours of battles impending; on the contrary, he did everything to amuse and divert her; gave her a most elegant breakfast, dinner, lunch, and got up a ball for her that evening, when he danced with her every single dance. Poor Bulbo was taken into favour again, and allowed to go quite free now.
You angel you Peri you rosebud, let me be thy bulbul thy Bulbo, too! Fly to the desert, fly with me! I never saw a young gazelle to glad me with its dark blue eye that had eyes like thine. Thou nymph of beauty, take, take this young heart. A truer never did itself sustain within a soldier's waistcoat. Be mine! Be mine! Be Princess of Crim Tartary!
'I beg Your Royal Highness's pardon, but you will have to act for yourself, and it's a pity to wake Baron Sleibootz. The Prince Bulbo still seemed to take the matter very coolly. 'Of course, Captain, says he, 'you are come about that affair with Prince Giglio? 'Precisely, says Hedzoff, 'that affair of Prince Giglio. 'Is it to be pistols, or swords, Captain? asks Bulbo.
When poor Prince Bulbo, who was now madly in love with Betsinda, heard this declaration, when he saw the unmistakable glances which she flung upon Giglio, Bulbo began to cry bitterly, and tore quantities of hair out of his head, till it all covered the room like so much tow.
Step in, pray, my good Captain; I'm delighted to see you; I have been expecting you." "Have you?" says Hedzoff. "Sleibootz, my Chamberlain, will act for me," says the Prince. "I beg Your Royal Highness's pardon, but you will have to act for yourself, and it's a pity to wake Baron Sleibootz." The Prince Bulbo still seemed to take the matter very coolly.
And they tied his hands behind him, and bound his legs tight under his horse, having set him with his face to the tail; and in this fashion he was led back to King Giglio's quarters, and thrust into the very dungeon where young Bulbo had been confined. "I cannot stay with you long, sir," says Bulbo, who was in his best ball dress, as he handed his father in the prog.
"I was laughing," he said, "because you said just now that you were in such a hurry to see the Princess, that you could not wait to change your dress; and now you say you come in those clothes because you have no others." "And who are you?" says Prince Bulbo, very fiercely. "My father was King of this country, and I am his only son, Prince!" replies Giglio, with equal haughtiness.
"Dear Signor Lorenzo, who is this?" asked the Princess. "That," said the painter, "that, Madam, is the portrait of my august young master, his Royal Highness Bulbo, Crown Prince of Crim Tartary, Duke of Acroceraunia, Marquis of Poluphloisboio, and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Pumpkin.
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.
And they tied his hands behind him, and bound his legs tight under his horse, having set him with his face to the tail; and in this fashion he was led back to King Giglio's quarters, and thrust into the very dungeon where young Bulbo had been confined.
