No one was hurt, however, and the King Frog had been wise
enough to treat his passengers more gently by slowing down at the
edge and allowing his riders to slip to the ground very comfortably.
Cap'n Bill at once formed his army into line of battle and had them
all remove the cumbersome raincoats, which they piled in a heap at
the edge of the Fog Bank. It was a splendid array of warriors, and
from where they stood they could discover several Blueskins rushing
in a panic toward the Blue City as fast as their long, blue legs
could carry them.
"Well, they know we're here, anyhow," said Cap'n Bill, "and instead
of waitin' to see what'll they do, I guess we'll jus' march on the
City an' ask 'em to please surrender."
GHIP-GHISIZZLE HAS A BAD TIME
CHAPTER 20
The Boolooroo was quite busy at the time the Pinkies invaded his
country. He had discovered the loss of the Book of Records, and
after being frightened 'most to death at the prospect of his fraud
on the people's being made public, he decided to act boldly and hold
his position as Boolooroo at any cost.
Since Ghip-Ghisizzle was to be the next Boolooroo, the king
suspected him first of all, so he had the Majordomo bound with cords
and brought before him, when he accused him of stealing the Book of
Records. Of course, Ghip-Ghisizzle denied taking the Book, but he
became almost as nervous at its loss as had the Boolooroo.
