I myself have been the rightful Ruler of the
Blues since Thursday, and yet this cruel and deceitful man has not
only deprived me of my right to succeed him, but he has tried to
have me patched so that I could never become the Boolooroo."
"Does the book tell how old he is?" asked Button-Bright.
"Yes. He is not five hundred years old, and has yet another hundred
years to live. He planned to rule the Blue Country until the last,
but I now know the deception he has practiced and have the Royal
Record Book to prove it. With this I shall be able to force him to
resign that I may take his place, for all the people will support me
and abide by the Law. The tyrant will perhaps fight me and my cause
desperately, but I am sure to win in the end."
"If we can help you," said Button-Bright, "the whole Pink Army will
fight for you. Only, if you win, you must promise to give me back my
Magic Umbrella and let us fly away to our own homes again."
"I will do that most willingly," agreed Ghip-Ghisizzle. "And now let
us consult together how best to take the Blue City and capture the
Boolooroo. As I know my own country much better than you or the
Pinkies do, I think I can find a way to accomplish our purpose."
THE AMAZING CONQUEST OF THE BLUES
CHAPTER 24
The shouting and excitement in the City following upon the recapture
of Cap'n Bill aroused the sleeping Boolooroo.
