What changes might not have taken place in that time! Again Lilian touched her horse with her light riding-whip, and rode briskly on till she reached the gate of which we have spoken.
But he was up again, in an instant, and with Pon's riding-whip he switched the King so hard that the wicked monarch roared with pain as much as with rage, calling on his soldiers to capture the Scarecrow.

Go and see, George, do!" George lumbered to his feet obediently. "Happen he's come to call on our young lady," he ventured, with a slow grin. "Well, don't bring him in here!" commanded his wife.
