+"brethren only and Lord Brandoch Daha . ” “ And who is this ? ” asked Lessingham , pointing to one of light and brisk step and humorous eye , who in that moment met Volle and engaged him in converse apart . Handsome of face he was , albeit somewhat long - nosed and sharp - nosed : keen and hard and filled with life and the joy of it . “ Here thou beholdest , ” answered she , “ Lord Zigg , the far - famed tamer of horses . Well loved is he among the Demons",eddison
+", for he is merry of mood , and a mighty man of his hands withal when he leadeth his horsemen against the enemy . ” Volle threw up his beard and laughed a great laugh at some jest that Zigg whispered in his ear , and Lessingham leaned forward into the hall if haply he might catch what was said . The hum of talk drowned the words , but leaning forward Lessingham saw where the arras curtains behind the dais parted for a moment , and one of princely bearing advanced past the high seats down the body",eddison
+"of the hall . His gait was delicate , as of some lithe beast of prey newly wakened out of slumber , and he greeted with lazy grace the many friends who hailed his entrance . Very tall was that lord , and slender of build , like a girl . His tunic was of silk coloured like the wild rose , and embroidered in gold with representations of flowers and thunderbolts . Jewels glittered on his left hand and on the golden bracelets on his arms , and on the fillet twined among the golden curls of his hair",eddison
+", set with plumes of the kingbird of Paradise . His horns were dyed with saffron , and inlaid with filigree work of gold . His buskins were laced with gold , and from his belt hung a sword , narrow of blade and keen , the hilt rough with beryls and black diamonds . Strangely light and delicate was his frame and seeming , yet with a sense of slumbering power beneath , as the delicate peak of a snow mountain seen afar in the low red rays of morning . His face was beautiful to look upon ,",eddison
+"and softly coloured like a girl ’s face , and his expression one of gentle melancholy , mixed with some disdain ; but fiery glints awoke at intervals in his eyes , and the lines of swift determination hovered round the mouth below his curled moustachios . “ At last , ” murmured Lessingham , “ at last , Lord Juss ! ” “ Little art thou to blame , ” said the martlet , “ for this misprision , for scarce could a lordlier sight have joyed thine eyes . Yet is this not Juss , but Lord Brandoch",eddison

+"Look well on him , for never shall thine eyes behold a greater champion than the Lord Goldry Bluszco , captain of the hosts of Demonland . ” Now when the greetings were done and the strains of the lutes and recorders sighed and lost themselves in the shadowy vault of the roof , the cupbearers did fill great gems made in form of cups with ancient wine , and the Demons caroused to Lord Juss deep draughts in honour of this day of his nativity . And now they were ready to set forth by twos and threes into",eddison

But as they were upon going forth , a trumpet was sounded without , three strident",eddison

And , by your leave , for all the marvellous rich and sumptuous coat a weareth , he is very like a false jewel in a rich casing . ” “ Well , ” said Juss , “ a sour draught sweetens not in the waiting . Call we in the Ambassador . ” Lord Juss sat in the high seat midmost of the dais , with Goldry on his right in the seat of black opal , and on his left Spitfire , throned on the",eddison
+"alexandrite . On the dais sat likewise those other lords of Demonland , and the guests of lower degree thronged the benches and the polished tables as the wide doors opened on their silver hinges , and the Ambassador with pomp and ceremony paced up the shining floor of marble and green tourmaline . “ Why , what a beastly fellow is this ? ” said Lord Goldry in his brother ’s ear . “ His hairy hands reach down to his knees . A shuffleth in his walk like a hobbled jackass . ” “ I like not the",eddison
+"dirty face of the Ambassador , ” said Lord Zigg . “ His nose sitteth flat on the face of him as it were a dab of clay , and I can see pat up his nostrils a summer day ’s journey into his head . If ’s upper lip bespeak him not a rare spouter of rank fustian , perdition catch me . Were it a finger ’s breadth longer , a might tuck it into his collar to keep his chin warm of a winter ’s night . ” “ I like not the smell of the Ambassador",eddison
+", ” said Lord Brandoch Daha . And he called for censers and sprinklers of lavender and rose water to purify the chamber , and let open the crystal windows that the breezes of heaven might enter and make all sweet . So the Ambassador walked up the shining floor and stood before the lords of Demonland that sat upon the high seats between the golden hippogriffs . He was robed in a long mantle of scarlet velvet lined with ermine , with crabs , woodlice , and centipedes worked thereon in golden thread . His head was covered with",eddison
+"a black velvet cap with a peacock ’s feather fastened with a brooch of silver . Supported by his trainbearers and attendants , and leaning on his golden staff , he with raucous accent delivered his mission : “ Juss , Goldry , and Spitfire , and ye other Demons , I come before you as the Ambassador of Gorice XI , most glorious King of Witchland , Lord and great Duke of Buteny and Estremerine , Commander of Shulan , Thramnë , Mingos , and Permio , and High Warden of the Esamocian Marches , Great Duke of Trace",eddison

+"” “ Speak and fear not , ” answered Juss . “ Thou hast mine oath . And that hath never been forsworn , to Witch or other barbarian . ” The Ambassador shot out his lips in an O , and threatened with his head ; then grinned , laying bare his sharp and misshapen teeth , and proceeded : “ Thus saith King Gorice , great and glorious , and he chargeth me to deliver it to you , neither adding any word nor taking away : ‘ I have it in mind that no ceremony of homage",eddison
+"or fealty hath been performed before me by the dwellers in my province of Demonland — ’   ” As the rustling of dry leaves strewn in a flagged court when a sudden wind striketh them , there went a stir among the guests . Nor might the Lord Spitfire contain his wrath , but springing up and clapping hand to sword - hilt , as minded to do a hurt to the Ambassador , “ Province ? ” he cried . “ Are not the Demons a free people ? And is it to be endured that Witchland should",eddison
+"commission this slave to cast insults in our teeth , and this in our own castle ? ” A murmur went about the hall , and here and there folk rose from their seats . The Ambassador drew down his head between his shoulders like a tortoise , baring his teeth and blinking with his small eyes . But Lord Brandoch Daha , lightly laying his hand on Spitfire ’s arm , said : “ The Ambassador hath not ended his message , cousin , and thou hast frightened him . Have patience and spoil not the comedy . We",eddison
+"shall not lack words to answer King Gorice : no , nor swords , if he must have them . But it shall not be said of us of Demonland that it needeth but a boorish message to turn us from our ancient courtesy toward ambassadors and heralds . ” So spake Lord Brandoch Daha , in lazy half - mocking tone , as one who but idly returneth the ball of conversation ; yet clearly , so that all might hear . And therewith the murmurs died down , and Spitfire said , “ I am tame . Say",eddison
+"thine errand freely , and imagine not that we shall hold thee answerable for aught thou sayest , but him that sent thee . ” “ Whose humble mouthpiece I only am , ” said the Ambassador , somewhat gathering courage ; “ and who , saving your reverence , lacketh not the will nor the power to take revenge for any outrage done upon his servants . Thus saith the King : ‘ I therefore summon and command you , Juss , Spitfire , and Goldry Bluszco , to make haste and come to me in Witchland in my",eddison
+"fortress of Carcë , and there dutifully kiss my toe , in witness before all the world that I am your Lord and King , and rightful overlord of all Demonland . ’   ” Gravely and without gesture Lord Juss harkened to the Ambassador , leaning back in his high seat with either arm thrown athwart the arched neck of a hippogriff . Goldry , smiling scornfully , toyed with the hilt of his great sword . Spitfire sat strained and glowering , the sparks crackling at his nostrils . “ Thou hast delivered all ? ” said Juss",eddison
+". “ All , ” answered the Ambassador . “ Thou shalt have thine answer , ” said Juss . “ While we take rede thereon , eat and drink ; ” and he beckoned the cupbearer to pour out bright wine for the Ambassador . But the Ambassador excused himself , saying that he was not athirst , and that he had store of food and wine aboard of his ship , which should suffice his needs and those of his following . Then said Lord Spitfire , “ No marvel though the spawn of Witchland fear venom in",eddison

They who work commonly such villany against their enemies , as witness Recedor of Goblinland whom Corsus murthered with a poisonous draught , shake still in the knees lest themselves be so entertained to their destruction ; ” and snatching the cup he quaffed it to the dregs , and dashed it on the marble floor before the Ambassador , so that it was shivered into pieces . And the lords of Demonland rose up and withdrew behind the flowery hangings into a chamber apart , to determine of their answer to the message sent unto them",eddison
+"by King Gorice of Witchland . When they were private together , Spitfire spake and said , “ Is it to be borne that the King should put such shame and mockery upon us ?

We can surprise Witchland in his",eddison
+"strong place of Carcë , sack it , and give him to the crows to peck at , or ever he is well awake to the swiftness of our answer . That is my counsel . ” “ Nay , ” said Juss , “ we shall not take him sleeping . Be certain that his ships are ready and watching in the Witchland seas , prepared against any rash onset . It were folly to set our neck in the noose ; and little glory to Demonland to await his coming . This , then , is my rede",eddison
+": I will bid Gorice to the duello , and make offer to him to let lie on the fortune thereof the decision of this quarrel . ” “ A good rede , if it might be fulfilled , ” said Goldry . “ But never will he dare to stand with weapons in single combat ’ gainst thee or ’ gainst any of us . Nevertheless the thing shall be brought about . Is not Gorice a mighty wrastler , and hath he not in his palace in Carcë the skulls and bones of ninety and nine great champions",eddison

So when they had talked on it awhile and concluded what they would do , glad of heart the lords of Demonland turned them back to the lofty presence chamber .",eddison

And Goldry called his scribe and made him write the message for Gorice",eddison
+"the King in great characters on a roll of parchment , and the lords of Demonland sealed it with their seals , and gave it to the Ambassador . The Ambassador took it and made haste to depart ; but when he was come to the stately doorway of the presence chamber , being near the door and amongst his attendants , and away from the lords of Demonland , he plucked up heart a little and turned and said : “ Rashly and to thy certain undoing , O Goldry Bluszco , hast thou bidden our Lord the King",eddison

Insomuch that they",eddison

Hurrah for Gorice who hath sent us a monkey for his Ambassador ! ” And with jibe and unmannerly yell the crowd hung lovingly upon the Ambassador and his train all the way down from Galing castle to the quays . So that it was like a sweet homecoming to him to come on board his well - built ship and have her rowed amain out of Lookinghaven . So when they had rounded Lookinghaven",eddison

II The Wrastling for Demonland Of the prognosticks which troubled Lord Gro concerning the meeting between the King of Witchland and the Lord Goldry Bluszco ; and how they met , and of the issue of that wrastling . “ How could I have fallen asleep ? ” cried Lessingham . “ Where is the castle of the Demons , and how did we leave the great presence chamber where they saw the Ambassador",eddison

+"and skilled in every art of attack and defence , and subtle withal , and cruel and fell like a serpent . ” Where they stood the down was cut by a combe that descended to the sea , and overhanging the combe was the palace of the Red Foliot , rambling and low , with many little towers and battlements , built of stones hewn from the wall of the combe , so that it was hard from a distance to discern what was palace and what native rock . Behind the palace stretched a meadow , flat and",eddison

Lord Gro saw her , and his heart waxed heavy within",eddison

He spake to Corund and said , “ Needs must that I make trial even at this late hour if there be not any means to turn the King from further adventuring of himself , ere all be lost . ” Corund said , “ Be it as thou wilt , but it will be in vain . ” So Gro stood by the King and said , “ Lord , give over this wrastling .
