"I have made it my business to search out the goings-on of the weasel, who has kept himself in the background of late, suspecting that he was up to no good, and with the aid of my lieutenant, the tree-climber, I have succeeded in discovering his retreat, which he has concealed even from your majesty." "Where is it?" said Kapchack.
Nor did he see the fox with his brush touching the ground, creeping unhappily along the mound, but never looked to the right nor left, hastening as fast as he could glide to King Kapchack. Now the king had waited up that night as long as ever he could, wondering why the thrush did not return, and growing more and more anxious about the ambassador every moment.
"I do not believe it," said King Kapchack. "Where is he?" "If it please your majesty," said the humble-bee, "he is lying on a bank beyond the copse, stretched out in the sunshine, licking his paw, and hoping that rest and sunshine will cure him." "Oh, what a story!" said Bevis. "Hush," said the squirrel. "Somebody said it was a story," said the owl. "So it is," said Te-te.
"The tomtit told me just now in the fir-tree; the woodpecker told him on his promising that he would not tell anybody else." "When is the marriage to come off, dear?" she asked, interrupting him. "Kapchack Phe u!" Somebody came round the house, and away they flew, just as Bevis was going to ask all about it.
"Yet the hawk, and the crow, and the rook, and the jay, and all of them, though they hate Kapchack in their hearts, all come round him bowing down, and they peck the ground where he has just walked, and kiss the earth he has stood on, in token of their humility and obedience to him. Each tries to outdo the rest in servility.
Long live the mighty Kapchack!" said the toad very loud, that all might hear how loyal he was, and then went on speaking lower.
The thrush, having sat at the banquet the whole of the afternoon, and tasted every dainty that the camp of Choo Hoo afforded, surrounded all the time by crowds of pleasant companions, on the other hand, saw the shadows lengthening with regret. He knew that it was time for him to depart and convey the intelligence to King Kapchack that Choo Hoo had fully agreed to his proposal.
"Hush!" said the squirrel, "Te-te is too near." "Are they all here?" asked the king, after he had looked round and received the bows and lowly obeisance of his subjects. "They are all here," said the owl, sitting in his porch. "They are all here at least, I think; no, they are not, your majesty." "Who is absent?" said Kapchack, frowning, and all the assembly cowered.
"While they thus talk of torture the enemy is in sight, and their own army, it is more than whispered, is discontented and angry at the reception meted out to the victorious Khan. But this, alas! is not all. "So soon as ever Ki Ki was certain that Kapchack was really dead, he returned, and he has gathered to himself a crew of the most terrible ruffians you ever beheld.
Still restlessly and aimlessly wandering he went about the fields noticing nothing, but miserable to the last degree. The owl flew by on his errand to King Kapchack; the bats fluttered overhead; the wind blew and the trees creaked; but the fox neither saw, nor heard, nor thought of anything except his own degradation.
