"In the mountains!" roared King Seaphus. "You don't go to the seashore for the mountains! You should have gone inland to the White Mountains or the Catskills those are well-known summer resorts."
At which the King laughed loudly, for he was very fond of coining words and was busily engaged, when his state duties did not interfere, in compiling a new dictionary. "You are right, Father Seaphus," replied his beautiful daughter. "Let me introduce little Mary Louise." The King rose graciously and extended his royal right hand.
"And now, what can I do for you?" he asked, turning to the Polar Bear. "Train Porters have very low wages," replied the Polar Bear. "Very well," answered King Seaphus, "I will see that yours are doubled," and he waved the two visitors away with a haughty gesture. The court page then escorted them to the door. "You heard what I said," cried the King, turning to the Prime Minister.
But, if the Iceberg Express is wrecked, how am I to continue my journey?" "Sufferin' mackerel!" exclaimed King Seaphus; this time he uttered the words aloud and not under his breath, "Sufferin' mackerel! I'll see that you get there, if I have to charter a special train!" "But what about my finger?" asked the Star Fish. "Oh, I'll reimburse you for your ticket," exclaimed the King.
"You know," she added in a whisper, "I'm glad there was an accident; otherwise you would not have come to our castle, and we might not have grown to be such friends." "Don't whisper, my daughter," said King Seaphus.
The gold and silver plates shone with a strange luster, and the goblets, fashioned of the thinnest and most exquisite pearl, gave the impression that they were strange sea lilies. King Seaphus seated himself majestically at the head of the banquet board, and little Mary Louise was shown the place on his right. At the other end sat the Mermaid Princess.
"I know your Princess Mermaid daughter of King Seaphus," and she handed the little mermaid the pearly comb, who then swam away to her island of coral and pearl. "Heigh ho," sighed little Mary Louise, "here I am by the sad sea waves with nobody to talk to," and as she had nothing to do, she dug a hole in the sand and thrusting in both her feet, covered them up.
King Seaphus looked sternly at all three. Just then a loud knocking was heard on the castle door. "Billows and breakers!" exclaimed the King, "what is that?" Damages King Seaphus waited anxiously as the knocking on the castle door continued. "Billows and breakers," he exclaimed again, expectantly waiting for the visitor or visitors to be announced.
