My work was to help the people plough, and now and again to go out with some of the Army and see what the other villages were doing, and make em throw rope-bridges across the ravines which cut up the country horrid.
That was how we came to our first village, without any trouble, just as though we had tumbled from the skies. But we tumbled from one of those damned rope-bridges, you see, and you couldnt expect a man to laugh much after that. Take some more whiskey and go on, I said. That was the first village you came into. How did you get to be King?

The wider the abyss the more insecure the causeway; and the terrible rope-bridges of South America, or the still more conjectural throw of a line of woven roots, would meet the travelers wherever the cleft was so wide as to render timbering an inconvenient trouble.

The King lost his head, so he did, all along o' one of those cunning rope-bridges. Kindly let me have the paper-cutter, Sir. It tilted this way. They marched him a mile across that snow to a rope-bridge over a ravine with a river at the bottom. You may have seen such. They prodded him behind like an ox. 'Damn your eyes! says the King.
