At which, and her funny accent, Angelica, Giglio, and the King and Queen began to laugh very merrily. "I can dance as well as sing," says the little girl. "I can dance, and I can sing, and I can do all sorts of ting."
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! and began tearing the clothes off poor Betsinda. "Give her the rags she wore when she came into the house, and turn her out of it!" cries the Queen.
So did the Queen like playing cards; so did the King go to sleep at church, and eat and drink too much; and, if Giglio owed a trifle for tarts, who owed him two hundred and seventeen thousand millions nine hundred and eighty-seven thousand four hundred and thirty-nine pounds, thirteen shillings, and sixpence halfpenny, I should like to know?
With an air of indescribable dignity, Giglio checked their natural, but no more seemly, familiarity. "Jones, Smith, my good friends," said the PRINCE, "disguise is henceforth useless; I am no more the humble student Giles, I am the descendant of a royal line." "Atavis edite regibus. I know, old co " cried Jones. "Friends," continued the Prince, "I am that Giglio: I am, in fact, Paflagonia.
This was the time when Giglio began his tricks with Prince Bulbo, plying that young gentleman with port, sherry, madeira, champagne, marsala, cherry-brandy, and pale ale, of all of which Master Bulbo drank without stint.
All my rooms is wanted for gentlefolks, and not for such as you." "You may well keep the Bear Inn," said Giglio. "You should have yourself painted as the sign." The landlady of the Bear went away GROWLING. And Giglio returned to his room, where the first thing he saw was the fairy bag lying on the table, which seemed to give a little hop as he came in.
'Oh, say not so, dear Prince! says Gruffanuff. 'What are you two people chattering about there? says the Queen, who was rather good-natured, though not overburthened with wisdom. 'It is time to dress for dinner. Giglio, show Prince Bulbo to his room.
"Ha!" said the King and Glumboso, looking very flurried; but the former, collecting himself, said, "Dear Prince Bulbo, I forgot to introduce to Your Royal Highness my dear nephew, His Royal Highness Prince Giglio! Know each other! Embrace each other! Giglio, give His Royal Highness your hand!" and Giglio, giving his hand, squeezed poor Bulbo's until the tears ran out of his eyes.
His Majesty King Valoroso, as we have seen, had his own reasons for disliking his nephew; and as for those innocent readers who ask why? With the Queen, his royal but weak-minded aunt, when Giglio was out of sight he was out of mind. While she had her whist and her evening parties, she cared for little else.
'Poor, poor Giglio! he said, the tears rolling over his manly face, and dripping down his moustachios; 'my noble young Prince, is it my hand must lead thee to death? 'Lead him to fiddlestick, Hedzoff, said a female voice. It was Gruffanuff, who had come out in her dressing-gown when she heard the noise. 'The King said you were to hang the Prince. Well, hang the Prince.
