'It is the court-dress of conspirators, added Dubb. 'We are clothed in the unwritten pages of history, continued Dubsix. 'We shall be red hereafter, said Menin, archly. 'Because we rose against the tyrant, concluded Atub, with a sigh. 'They are apt to be rather stupid at this hour in the morning, remarked Gyp, turning to Yellow-cap, 'but they will get warmed to it presently.
At that moment there was a great noise and confusion at the back of the stage, and half the audience sprang to their feet, supposing that the theatre had caught fire. But out of the confusion was dragged forward a sort of cart, in which a number of persons were seated, with veils over their faces, and their hands tied behind their backs. Yellow-cap saw that one of these persons was a woman.
I am positively light-headed. 'Well, at all events I am a King! said Yellow-cap. 'And now, observed Ormund, rubbing his hands and glancing at Silvia, 'since the coronation is over, what do you say to our having the wedding? 'Yes yes; the wedding! echoed all the courtiers. Silvia arranged the ribbon at her throat, looked coquettishly at King Yellow-cap, and murmured in his ear
Keep your axe poised, he added to the Headsman. 'Right you are, young man! said the person in the pit whom the police had tried to arrest for hissing. 'Right you are, Master Yellow-cap; you're just about the sort of king I goes in for, and so I tells you. 'And now go on with your story, said the King to the veiled woman.
He took it from her, and read the following words which had been written upon it: 'A rhyme to King Ormund. The King had noticed this transaction, and immediately asked 'What have you got there? 'A rhyme to King Ormund, replied Yellow-cap, repeating the words which he had read without thinking of the effect they might have upon his hearer.
Yellow-cap tried this experiment also: the seventh head was the only one that imitated the gesture. 'This is absurd, exclaimed Yellow-cap indignantly. 'The central head imitates everything I do; it even pretends to look like me, which is ridiculous, for it is ugly, while I am 'Perhaps you have never looked in a mirror before? said Gyp gently.
The yellow light from the lamp shone upon that smoky dome, and its shape became defined more and more distinctly, until at last it hung poised in air a gigantic image of the very yellow cap which Yellow-cap wore. Gradually it settled down lower and lower, as if to shut him in. He tried to rise from his tankard throne, but a heavy weight from above seemed to prevent him.
'And now I look at you again, continued Yellow-cap, 'I think I remember you before you were a Prime Maniac. I remember you when you were only three feet high. 'It is all the same, answered the other again. 'I rise to the occasion. 'Well, it makes no difference, I suppose, said Yellow-cap, after a pause, bestriding the donkey's back. 'Now for the crown!
And behold Silvia, his fitting queen and consort, whose hand I place in his. He suited the action to the word, and then, removing the crown, he set it upon Assimund's head. But the audience murmured, and seemed dissatisfied; and Silvia smiled maliciously; and even the dwarf, over whom the Headsman was standing with uplifted axe, showed his teeth in an ugly grin. 'Silence! shouted Yellow-cap.
'And your reputation! bawled Atub. 'It is against the first law of the Brotherhood, added Ruba. 'We all have headaches, asserted Dubb. 'We couldn't live without them, declared Dubsix. 'Would you commit suicide? demanded Menin. 'Be guilty of treason? hiccoughed Atub, who had swallowed some smoke the wrong way. 'Good gracious! was all that poor Yellow-cap was able to reply.
