Scared the Princes,

four princes ate fourteen pounds of
roast beef and promised to tattoo the

house produced case Of stuffed liz

those Of adjoining ones. A drawing
room window was open. Shrieking in
fear and Indignation. they made for
this and at a bound were through it.
There sat an elderly lady knitting
stockings She was frightened nearly
out Of her wits by the invasion. The
terrified princes had never before seen
anything like that which had alarmed
them. The lizards simply represented
devils to them. and they were anxious
not to remain in such company.
