A crop-headed German waiter brought the cafe au lait which she ordered, and set it on the table before her two metal jugs, a cup and saucer, a little glass dish of sugar, and a folded napkin.
No one paid the slightest attention to her except the calling neighbor, who said "Hush!" An instant later, the instant that saw Amiel lay a commending and fraternal hand on Jennie's curls, the Monster struck. Jealousy had no firmer grip of beak and talons on the Moor of Venice than on the crop-headed Dorothea. In absolute self- defense she did an unprecedented and wholly unexpected thing.
Graham turned round sharply and saw the tailor standing at his elbow smiling, and holding some palpably new garments over his arm. The crop-headed boy, by means of one ringer, was impelling the complicated machine towards the lift by which he had arrived. Graham stared at the completed suit. "You don't mean to say !" "Just made," said the tailor.
Her heavy form seemed to flash with sudden, involuntary movements as the minutes passed by, and still he sat there, and the tension on her heart grew unbearable. She watched the hands of the dock move on. Three of the soldiers had gone to bed, only the crop-headed, terrier-like old sergeant remained. The landlady sat behind the bar fidgeting spasmodically with the newspaper.
One by one they came; tall and short, dark and fair, plump and thin, and each said 'I am she whom you want. You will be foolish indeed if you do not take me. But he took none of them, neither short nor tall, dark nor fair, plump nor thin, till at the last the crop-headed girl came out. 'This is mine, said the king, though she was so ugly that most men would have turned from her.
The door opened and a stocky, crop-headed, shirt-sleeved man in his thirties stood before them. He turned slightly pale at the sight of so many uniforms, but held his ground. "What is this?" he demanded. "You Magnessen?" Lieutenant Smith barked. "Yeah. What's the beef? If it's about my hi-fi playing too loud, I can tell you that old hag downstairs " "May we come in?" Rath asked. "It's important."
Graham turned round sharply and saw the tailor standing at his elbow smiling, and holding some palpably new garments over his arm. The crop-headed boy, by means of one finger, was impelling the complicated machine towards the lift by which he had arrived. Graham stared at the completed suit. "You don't mean to say !" "Just made," said the tailor.
The turnkey at the prison gate was a crop-headed fellow with jowls like a bulldog, and no more mercy in his face than a chopping-block. "Gaston Carew, the player?" he growled. "Ye can't come in without a permit from the warden." "We must," said Jones. "Must?" said the turnkey. "I am the only one who says 'must' in Newgate!" and slammed the door in their faces.
Flann thought that all the maidens were beautiful and wonderful, although the King's Son told him that some were black-faced, and some crop-headed and some hunchbacked. Then a maiden came, who was so high above the rest that Flann had no words to speak of her. She had silver on her head and silver on her arms, and the people around the fires all bowed to her.
'That is just what I want, said the king, and they played; and sometimes it seemed as if one would win, and sometimes the other, but in the end it was the king who was the winner. 'And what is the prize that you will choose? inquired the Gruagach. 'The ugly crop-headed girl that stands behind the door, replied the king.
