The
little
goblin
's
unsuspecting
simplicity
made
me
foolhardy
;
I
would
stuff
him
recklessly
full
of
lies
;
rout
him
out
o
'
field
grandly
,
and
stop
his
mouth
from
sheer
amazement
.
Had
he
heard
of
the
electric
psalm-book
that
Happolati
had
invented
?
"
What
?
Elec
--
"
"
With
electric
letters
that
could
give
light
in
the
dark
!
a
perfectly
extraordinary
enterprise
.
A
million
crowns
to
be
put
in
circulation
;
foundries
and
printing-presses
at
work
,
and
shoals
of
regular
mechanics
to
be
employed
;
I
had
heard
as
many
as
seven
hundred
men
.
"
"
Ay
,
is
n't
it
just
what
I
say
?
"
drawled
out
the
man
calmly
.
He
said
no
more
,
he
believed
every
word
I
related
,
and
for
all
that
,
he
was
not
taken
aback
.
This
disappointed
me
a
little
;
I
had
expected
to
see
him
utterly
bewildered
by
my
inventions
.
I
searched
my
brain
for
a
couple
of
desperate
lies
,
went
the
whole
hog
,
hinted
that
Happolati
had
been
Minister
of
State
for
nine
years
in
Persia
.
"
You
perhaps
have
no
conception
of
what
it
means
to
be
Minister
of
State
in
Persia
?
"
I
asked
.
It
was
more
than
king
here
,
or
about
the
same
as
Sultan
,
if
he
knew
what
that
meant
,
but
Happolati
had
managed
the
whole
thing
,
and
was
never
at
a
loss
.
And
I
related
about
his
daughter
Ylajali
,
a
fairy
,
a
princess
,
who
had
three
hundred
slaves
,
and
who
reclined
on
a
couch
of
yellow
roses
.
She
was
the
loveliest
creature
I
had
ever
seen
;
I
had
,
may
the
Lord
strike
me
,
never
seen
her
match
for
looks
in
my
life
!
"
So
--
o
;
was
she
so
lovely
?
"
remarked
the
old
fellow
,
with
an
absent
air
,
as
he
gazed
at
the
ground
.
"
Lovely
?
She
was
beauteous
,
she
was
sinfully
fascinating
.
Eyes
like
raw
silk
,
arms
of
amber
!
Just
one
glance
from
her
was
as
seductive
as
a
kiss
;
and
when
she
called
me
,
her
voice
darted
like
a
wine-ray
right
into
my
soul
's
phosphor
.
And
why
should
n't
she
be
so
beautiful
?
"
Did
he
imagine
she
was
a
messenger
or
something
in
the
fire
brigade
?
She
was
simply
a
Heaven
's
wonder
,
I
could
just
inform
him
,
a
fairy
tale
.
"
Yes
,
to
be
sure
!
"
said
he
,
not
a
little
bewildered
.
