May I ask whether you are perfect in your part? 'I have not thought of any rhyme to "Ormund," said Yellow-cap. 'Any rhyme will do, Gyp went on; 'and perhaps the Home or the Foreign Doggerel will be able to help you to one when the time comes. 'Brethren, said Yellow-cap, clearing his throat, 'I propose we put off this affair until to-morrow.
Familiar though Yellow-cap had become with marvels, he could not help wondering how anybody could know what he was going to say. He certainly did not know himself. The audience had now become silent not a sound was to be heard in the theatre except the occasional rustle of a programme.
Are not you the gallant prince whom I had the pleasure of meeting yesterday, and who vanished so strangely just when we were about to exchange hats? 'Your Majesty's memory is not at fault, Yellow-cap answered. 'Bless my soul! my dear fellow, the King exclaimed with much heartiness, 'allow me to give you a hug!
'Did you come alone? asked Gyp, puffing a long whiff of smoke up towards the ceiling. 'Alone with Silvia. 'Ah-h-h! Silvia sometimes leads the best of men astray. But you got here at last, and that is more than many do. And you were but just in time. The King prints his placards to-night. 'What placards? asked Yellow-cap innocently. 'Announcing his "successor" a farce in one act.
'At all events I am as much king as anybody here, Yellow-cap replied firmly. 'And meanwhile I advise anybody who cares to keep his head on his shoulders to obey my commands. 'I'll tell you what we might do, exclaimed the King brightly: 'we might draw lots 'No; I refuse to leave affairs of State to chance.
'Things always look so different in the morning, remarked Silvia good-humouredly. 'But, if it please your Lordship, I am sent by the Brethren to say that they are waiting for you in the front room. Yellow-cap felt not at all in the mood to lead a conspiracy; but still he tried to put a good face upon the matter.
'Only for the sake of speaking out of metre, replied Dubb; at which the Brethren looked at one another and lifted their eyebrows. 'Well, at all events, said Gyp, recovering his good-humour, 'we want to get the King out and put the usurper in his place. 'Has anything been done to prepare the people for this change? inquired Yellow-cap. 'Are they on our side?
Underneath the table in the inn parlour, where that extraordinary meeting of the Seven Brethren had taken place. As Yellow-cap got slowly to his feet he pressed both hands to his head, which felt like a newly-roasted chestnut, with the kernel loose inside; but the yellow cap was still fast about his brows.
I am the Prime Maniac. He on your right is the Chancellor of the Jingle. Next to him is the Home Doggerel. At the foot of the table is the First Lord of the Seesaw. The Foreign Doggerel is next on the left. Next again the Lord Privy Gander. One and all of us are bound to aid you, abet you, and obey you, so long as you own and wear the yellow cap. Once more, welcome, Yellow-cap!
'In the drawing of lots his Transparent Majesty King Ormund has been successful; and therefore his Royal Highness Prince Yellow-cap has won the wager. 'Capital capital! exclaimed the King, rubbing his hands and stamping about the stage gleefully. 'But you, he added, turning to the Chancellor of the Jingle, 'must, of course, have your head cut off just the same.
