On hearing that salute her Majesty, Queen Alicia of Jingalo, at once knew what it referred to. "Ah!" she remarked, in a tone of complete satisfaction, "that means that the dear Prince has arrived. What a distance he has been! I was afraid we might miss him."
He had said that he did not understand poetry, but here was meaning only too clear; in this song so gentle, pleading, and pathetic in character, he, John of Jingalo, stood publicly accused of all the injuries that were being done to women in that necessary defense of law and order against which, petition in hand, they were so obstinately setting themselves.
International exhibitions had become the vogue; and in putting on its peace paint for the Jubilee, Jingalo had determined to maintain its prestige among the nations by holding a conversazione of the Arts. In matters of that sort his Majesty had no particular taste; but in an art exhibition it was his duty to be interested.
Three days later the King and Queen of Jingalo were at home by special appointment to receive a call of ceremony.
Well, inside of it there is a country as big as this Jingalo of yours; and it belongs really to nobody. I have been all over it." "The people are very savage, are they not?" "Savage? oh, no. They are very fierce and proud, and strong; they are also the most wonderful artists. You call that to be a savage?" "Artists?" "Yes; look at that."
Various sections of the public were informed in their daily journals how they and other sections were behaving themselves; how business men went to office almost apologetically, and only because they could not help themselves; how nursemaids hushed the voices of their charges as they wheeled them past the precincts of the palace for their morning's airing in the royal park; and how Jingalo only consented to its accustomed portion of beer in order that it might drink to the King's health and his quick recovery.
And so, while squibs and crackers were being thrown at them and sham bombs hurled into their meetings to show how greatly the law-abiding people of Jingalo disapproved of them for incurring such suspicion politically, the unjustly suspected ones moved a little nearer to their goal. As for the King and Queen, they were simply inundated with telegrams and letters of congratulation.
Only do that, and you will light such a candle Ah! now I am quoting from English history; and as I am only concerned with that of Jingalo I perceive that my present chapter has come to an end. May I take another cigar?" All this time the King had sat cautiously imbibing the stimulus of his son's words.
And, truly interpreted, his thoughts ran thus "Peace? Well, yes, I think that now I have earned it! Here am I, still King of Jingalo, alive and in my right mind.
All the same, on such an occasion it was incumbent upon the Prime Minister to say the correct thing, and he had said it: he had described the outrage as "a dastardly attempt," and the immunity of his sovereign as "a happy and almost miraculous escape" for which none had more reason to be thankful than himself and his colleagues; he had also said that the passionate attachment of the people of Jingalo to the person of their ruler had now been made abundantly evident, and he trusted might ever so continue.
