- The bat said, "Why don't you?"
- The Queen said, "Well, and what else do you want me to do?"
- The Queen said, "Yes, here I am!"
- The bat said, "Um! there's something in that."
- The Queen did as she was bidden, and the bat continued--
- The Queen said, "Why, what good would that do you?"
- And the man replied, "Because I haven't got any money to buy it with."
- And aloud she said, "Is there a bill of attainder out against you?"
- The Queen said, "Leave me alone, do you hear?"
- But the soldiers answered, "In the Queen's name, surrender."
- The Queen said, "I want some cakes, please."
- And the old cobbler answered, "I'll sell them to you."
- So she said aloud, "Take me to the King."
- She answered decidedly, "I shan't do anything of the sort."
- The King said, "Why not?"
- The Queen said, "Oh, I dare say I could do that."
- And the old woman answered, "Oh, very well; come along in, then."
- But the Queen said, "Nonsense!"
- The Queen said, "Why not?"
- And the old woman answered, "You may as well save yourself the trouble."
- And the geese answered, "Yes, isn't it scrumptious?"
- The Queen said, "I'm sure I'm very glad."
- The Queen said, "Good gracious! and my hair in such a state!"
- The man in armour bowed a clumsy sort of bow and said--
- The Queen said, "No, there's no one of that name living here."
- The Queen said, "No, she doesn't; I live here."
- And the Queen answered, "No; I live with my geese."
- But the shepherd said, "Of lore."
- The Queen said, "It disappeared with the witch."
- And he answered, "Oh, a mere trifle--only a formality."
- But a perfect storm of voices went up. "No; marry me! I'm----"
- And the shepherd in prince's clothing said, "I'm afraid it does."
- The ploughman said, "Now, can you ride?"
- The ploughman called, "Mother, I'm bringing a visitor."
- The Queen asked, "Why?"
- And the Queen answered, "Good morning, mother."
- And the tailor regarded her in a dazed way. Suddenly he said--
- And the mother answered, "The Regent told them, I suppose."
- And the old woman said, "Of course!"
- And the bat asked, "Who are you going to marry, then?"
- The Queen answered, "No one; at least----"
- And the bat said, "Just so."
- The bat said, "Do you know how to make tea?"
- The bat said, "H'm!"
- The bat said, "No; the weeds have choked them all."
- And the bat merely ejaculated, "H'm!"
- But the people with one voice shouted, "Be you our ruler!"
- And with one voice the people answered, "Yes."
- The Queen said, "Oh yes; and anything else you like to ask for."
- But the Queen just said, "Good-bye, your Majesty."
- She came as close to the water's edge as she could, and called--
- And she answered, "I am Eldrida."
- She put the horn into his hand, and said, "Drink this."
- THE END.
