Said he,
"We Pollys know our business, and we're all right!
We'll take good care of Cap'n Bill and Trot and Button-Bright.
You watch 'em from the Rainbow, and I'll watch day and night,
And we'll call a sky policeman if trouble comes in sight!"
Suddenly, the bow lifted and carried the dancing maidens into the
sky. The colors faded, the arch slowly dissolved and the heavens
were clear. Trot turned to the Pinkies. "Let's have a holiday
today," she said. "Have a good time and enjoy yourselves. I don't
jus' know how I'm goin' to rule this country yet, but I'll think it
over an' let you know." Then she went into the palace hut with Cap'n
Bill and Button-Bright and Rosalie the Witch, and the people went
away to enjoy themselves and talk over the surprising events of the
day.
"Dear me," said Trot, throwing herself into a chair, "wasn't that a
sudden change of fortune, though? That Rainbow's Daughter is a
pretty good fairy. I'm glad you know her, Button-Bright."
"I was sure something would happen to save you," remarked Rosalie,
"and that was why I voted to have you thrown off the edge. I wanted
to discover who would come to your assistance, and I found out. Now
I have made a friend of Polychrome, and that will render me more
powerful as a Witch, for I can call upon her for assistance whenever
I need her."
"But see here," said Cap'n Bill.
