At this, the man's face turned almost as red as his hair, and he strode 
forward and struck Harv across the face with his mailed fist. "I am Baron 
Jack," he said, "and you may consider that my calling card." Then, just for 
spite, he aimed a kick at Princess Nell; but his foot in its heavy metal armor 
was too slow, and Princess Nell, remembering the lessons Dinosaur had taught 
her, dodged it easily. "You must be the two brats the Queen told me about," 
he said. "You were supposed to be dead by now—eaten up by trolls. Well, 
tonight you shall be, and tomorrow the castle will be mine!" He seized Harv 
and began to bind his arms with a stout rope. Princess Nell, forgetting her 
lessons, tried to stop him, and in a flash he had grabbed her by the hair and 
tied her up as well. Soon both of them were lying helpless on the ground. 
"We'll see how well you can fight off the trolls tonight!" Baron Jack said, 
and giving each of them a slap and a kick just for spite, he strode off through 
the gate and locked the twelve locks again.
