And with this, he made another salaam, smiled persuasively, and said "Alpha, beta, gamma, delta chin-chin Potz tausend! Erin-go-bragh!" "Borriobooloobah!" shrieked his majesty, apparently stung to desperation. "Rocofoco!" retorted Müller promptly.
Suddenly he stretched out his long thin arms, as one awaking from sleep, and rubbing his eyes, stood up from his chair and gazed about him as though he hardly realised where he was.
