It flew out on the breeze. The Queen, flushed with pride and patriotism, defied the might of the Megalian navy. "Fire on that if you dare," she said. The admiral weighed his anchor, fussily, with much shouting and swearing, and steamed slowly out of the harbour. As he went he dipped his ensign, saluting the Queen's flags.
J. de Montford Scarsby. At Home, Thursday, June 24, 9 to 11. To have the honour of meeting His Majesty the King of Megalia. "The king," said Gorman, "is going in his uniform as Field Marshal of the Megalian Army. It took me half an hour to persuade him to do that, and I don't wonder.
I am fond of boats myself and can enjoy a ten-tonner very well; but nothing would induce me to go to sea with Madame Ypsilante in anything less comfortable than a well-equipped steam yacht of 1,000 tons. Besides there was the pursuit of the Megalian navy to be considered. The King was not the only person who missed his proper sleep. Gorman lay awake for two hours.
Then she remembered Smith's odd mistake in translating his own German in the morning. She determined not to ask his help. Kalliope, hopeless of explaining herself in Megalian, fell back on her small store of English words. She kept on saying "Mucky ship," which conveyed nothing at all to the Queen, except the obvious fact that the steamer was there. She also repeated the words "Once more."
But I am not a party, Gorman, I am a king." "Exactly," said Gorman, "and it's kings who give those things, the things Bilkins wants. Isn't there a Megalian Order Pink Vulture or something?" "Gorman, you have hit it," said the king delightedly. "You have hit the eye of the bull, and the head of the nail.
She is constitutionally incapable of that particular kind of stupidity which is called dignity. In that hour of her country's destiny, her chief feeling was amusement at the appearance of the admiral. She did not know, perhaps, that the guns of the Megalian navy were trained on her palace. But she ought to have understood that dignified conduct is desirable in dealing with admirals.
Gorman himself did what he was told without asking for a word of explanation. Gorman led Smith to Donovan's room. The man must have known all about the Megalian admiral's threat. He probably understood, better than any one else on the island, the meaning and purpose of the ultimatum presented to Donovan. But he showed no signs of embarrassment or excitement.
The inhabitants of this island are going to demonstrate." "How shall I talk to them?" said the Queen. "What language do they speak?" "Don't you fret any about that. I've brought Smith along. Smith is the only living Englishman who speaks the Megalian language.
"The Megalians," said Sir Bartholomew, "are a fighting race, and in the critical position of Balkan Affairs a delicate equipoise " He seemed taken with the phrase for he repeated it "A remarkably delicate equipoise the intervention of the Megalian Army would turn the scale and I feel certain decide the issue.
It is, I am told, a charming house. Hot and cold. Billiard and No Basement. Self-contained, Tudor and Bungalow, ten bed, two dressing, offices of the usual, drainage, commanding views, all that is desirable. But, alas for poor Otto! Salissa was not safe. He had forgotten that Megalia has a navy, a navy of one ship only, but that was enough. It cooked the goose of Otto, that Megalian Navy.
