'We've got fifty paid claqueurs I know that, said Atub. 'And we have suspended the rule about full-dress in the stalls, added Dubsix. 'Ah! exclaimed Menin, nodding his head and crossing his feet on the table in republican style, 'there is a great deal in that. 'How are you going to depose him? Yellow-cap asked.
He longed to take it off and put his head under the pump; but that luxury, he knew, was now and hereafter forbidden him. 'Where are the other fellows? he asked, turning to Silvia. 'They jumped through the fiery eye 'Through what, your Lordship? cried Silvia, opening her eyes very wide. 'Through that, said Yellow-cap, pointing to the end of the room where the mysterious mirror hung.
'Upon my word, muttered Yellow-cap to himself rather angrily, 'however this matter goes I am resolved that I will not lose my head before making those six rascals shake in their shoes. Courtiers indeed! We shall see. At this moment the curtain drew up and showed the vast audience crowding every part of the theatre.
'May it please your Majesty, she replied, 'the way it happened was this. As I was taking the butter out of my churn yesterday afternoon there came into my dairy-room an ugly little long-armed man, with a hook nose and a great pair of moustachios. I asked him what he wanted, and he said that he wanted me, and that I had promised to marry him. 'Ha! said King Yellow-cap.
'The yellow cap is more wondrous yet it is only when you put it on that you can be seen at all events by the world. 'Dear me! ejaculated Yellow-cap again.

'He is your brother, and you are bound to him by the vows of the Order. 'I shall know how to break those bonds, Yellow-cap replied. 'In the first place, let my guards loose all the prisoners who are in the cart and let them go free.

It was indeed Silvia, who was laughing, and bidding him wake up, for it was past eight o'clock in the morning. And where had Yellow-cap passed the night?
Much to his disappointment, however, no sooner was he in the saddle than the donkey-driver took hold of the donkey's bridle on one side and Silvia on the other; and in this way they set out. 'Why are you coming with us, Silvia? Yellow-cap asked, after they had gone a little way. 'Are you one of the conspirators?
'Oh, please your Worship, he replied, 'I'm to be the Clown; and that young woman, pointing to Silvia, 'is to be my sweetheart, if I can catch her. 'And I'm to be Harlequin, I suppose, said Yellow-cap to himself. 'Well, I'm sure I begin to feel like one.
