OverviewThis is Valoroso XXIV., King of Paflagonia, seated with his Queen and only child at their royal breakfast-table, and receiving the letter which announces to His Majesty a proposed visit from Prince Bulbo, heir of Padella, reigning King of Crim Tartary. Remark the delight upon the monarch's royal features. He is so absorbed in the perusal of the King of Crim Tartary's letter, that he allows his eggs to get cold, and leaves his august muffins untasted. 'What! that wicked, brave, delightful Prince Bulbo!' cries Princess Angelica; 'so handsome, so accomplished, so witty-the conqueror of Rimbombamento, where he slew ten thousand giants!' 'Who told you of him, my dear?' asks His Majesty. 'A little bird, ' says Angelica. 'Poor Giglio!' says mamma, pouring out the tea. 'Bother Giglio!' cries Angelica, tossing up her head, which rustled with a thousand curl-papers.
