King Ormund took the crown from his brow and handed it to the Archbishop, who put it on Yellow-cap's head, over the yellow cap. Then all the courtiers round about murmured their congratulations, the audience that filled the theatre shouted 'Hooray! and 'Encore! the ex-King clapped him on the shoulder and said, 'Bless you, my boy! and Silvia whispered in his ear, 'Now you are King!
Before he knew where he was Yellow-cap found himself on an immense stage, at the further side of which was standing King Ormund himself, surrounded by a group of courtiers. The courtiers were all enveloped in long white dominoes, the sight of which caused Yellow-cap to look behind him with a sudden misgiving.
I am positively light-headed. 'Well, at all events I am a King! said Yellow-cap. 'And now, observed Ormund, rubbing his hands and glancing at Silvia, 'since the coronation is over, what do you say to our having the wedding? 'Yes yes; the wedding! echoed all the courtiers. Silvia arranged the ribbon at her throat, looked coquettishly at King Yellow-cap, and murmured in his ear
Everything having been thus arranged, and amidst a pause of breathless interest, his Transparent Majesty King Ormund, Emperor of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, and Defender of the Faith, advanced on tiptoe towards the donkey, who, not suspecting what was to come, stood with its hind quarters turned to him, its head being held fast by the half-witted driver.

'And who is he? said Yellow-cap. Hereupon the Brethren one and all took their pipes out of their mouths and deliberately pointed at Yellow-cap with their pipe-stems.
That warmhearted and big-brained gentleman would hardly put the Government to the expense of supplying safeguards against a contingency which his own tender and lovable nature renders unthinkable, even if the thirty-four foot wall outside does not. There seems to be a non-sequitur here, which Mr. Ormund, perhaps, may feel inspired to clear up.
Raymond ran on without paying attention to the way he was going so long as it was away from King Ormund and his company.

There was a heap of stones on the roadside, and on this Raymond sat down to think over his adventure. It was a puzzle, whichever way he looked at it.
The King pulled down his ruffles and went on. "A rhyme to King Ormund, eh?" Dear me! Then you are one of the conspirators? 'I have that honour, replied Yellow-cap.
