But I do pray God keep us in peace; for this, with other things, do give great discontent to all people. Put on my new Scallop, which is very fine.

Wonderful to relate the words were no sooner spoken, than the Fairy struck her wand upon the floor three times, and lo! and behold! instantly there appeared though how it got there, I can't imagine a car made of four large scallop shells joined together, and lined with rich velvet; the wheels were studded with the whitest pearls, and it was drawn by eight silver pheasants.
Two little brass cannon thrust their muzzles over the parapet to seaward and the central space of grass about the flagpole was neatly surrounded with a decoration of scallop shells.
