'And didst thou see her flung into the oil? and didn't the soothing oil the emollient oil, refuse to boil, good Hedzoff and to spoil the fairest lady ever eyes did look on? 'Faith, good my liege, I had no heart to look and see a beauteous lady boiling down; I took your royal message to Padella, and bore his back to you. I told him you would hold Prince Bulbo answerable.
Like Paul with beasts he fought the cat. Now, I wonder if that injured man is not meditating some priestly revenge that would do our turn and get rid of Miss Blowser? Merton shook his head impatiently. His own invention was busy, but to no avail. Miss Blowser seemed impregnable. Kutuzoff Hedzoff, the puss, stalked up to Logan and leaped on his knees.
Hedzoff coming up, and finding Punchikoff down, as you may imagine, very speedily disposed of HIM. Meanwhile King Padella was scampering off as hard as his horse could lay legs to ground. Fast as he scampered, I promise you somebody else galloped faster; and that individual, as no doubt you are aware, was the Royal Giglio, who kept bawling out, "Stay, traitor! Turn, miscreant, and defend thyself!
With such a weapon at command, I wonder, for my part, he thought of ordering his army out; but forth they all came, in magnificent new uniforms, Hedzoff and the Prince's two college friends each commanding a division, and His Majesty prancing in person at the head of them all.
'And what says my good brother of Paflagonia, my dear son's father-in-law, to this rubbish? asked the King. 'The King's uncle hath been deprived of the crown he unjustly wore, said Hedzoff gravely. 'He and his axminister, Glumboso, are now in prison waiting the sentence of my royal master. After the battle of Bombardaro 'Of what? asked the surprised Padella.
Captain Hedzoff rode away when King Padella uttered this cruel command, having done his duty in delivering the message with which his royal master had entrusted him. Of course he was very sorry for Rosalba, but what could he do? So he returned to King Giglio's camp, and found the young monarch in a disturbed state of mind, smoking cigars in the royal tent.
"A soldier, Prince, must needs obey his orders: mine are to help his Majesty Padella. "First catch your hare! ha, Hedzoff!" exclaimed His Royal Highness. " On the body of GIGLIO, whilome Prince of Paflagonia" Hedzoff went on, with indescribable emotion. "My Prince, give up your sword without ado. Look! we are thirty thousand men to one!" "Give up my sword!
I challenge him to meet me, with fists or with pistols, with battle-axe or sword, with blunderbuss or single-stick, alone or at the head of his army, on foot or on horseback; and will prove my words upon his wicked ugly body!" "God save the King!" said Captain Hedzoff, executing a demivolte, two semilunes, and three caracols.
Phoo! No, it can't be! Yes! it is my friend, my gallant faithful veteran, Captain Hedzoff! Ho, Hedzoff! Knowest thou not thy Prince, thy Giglio? Good Corporal, methinks we once were friends. Ha, Sergeant, an my memory serves me right, we have had many a bout at singlestick." "I' faith, we have, a many, good my Lord," says the Sergeant.
"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. "I'm a pretty good hand with both, and I'll do for Prince Giglio as sure as my name is My Royal Highness Prince Bulbo." "There's some mistake, my Lord," says the Captain.
