But
the
Catherine
Wheel
shook
her
head
.
"
Romance
is
dead
,
Romance
is
dead
,
Romance
is
dead
,
"
she
murmured
.
She
was
one
of
those
people
who
think
that
,
if
you
say
the
same
thing
over
and
over
a
great
many
times
,
it
becomes
true
in
the
end
.
332
Suddenly
,
a
sharp
,
dry
cough
was
heard
,
and
they
all
looked
round
.
333
It
came
from
a
tall
,
supercilious-looking
Rocket
,
who
was
tied
to
the
end
of
a
long
stick
.
He
always
coughed
before
he
made
any
observation
,
so
as
to
attract
attention
.

"
Ahem
!
ahem
!
"
he
said
,
and
everybody
listened
except
the
poor
Catherine
Wheel
,
who
was
still
shaking
her
head
,
and
murmuring
,
"
Romance
is
dead
.
"
335
"
Order
!
order
!
"
cried
out
a
Cracker
.
He
was
something
of
a
politician
,
and
had
always
taken
a
prominent
part
in
the
local
elections
,
so
he
knew
the
proper
Parliamentary
expressions
to
use
.
336
"
Quite
dead
,
"
whispered
the
Catherine
Wheel
,
and
she
went
off
to
sleep
.
337
As
soon
as
there
was
perfect
silence
,
the
Rocket
coughed
a
third
time
and
began
.
He
spoke
with
a
very
slow
,
distinct
voice
,
as
if
he
was
dictating
his
memoirs
,
and
always
looked
over
the
shoulder
of
the
person
to
whom
he
was
talking
.
In
fact
,
he
had
a
most
distinguished
manner
.

"
How
fortunate
it
is
for
the
King
's
son
,
"
he
remarked
,
"
that
he
is
to
be
married
on
the
very
day
on
which
I
am
to
be
let
off
!
Really
,
if
it
had
been
arranged
beforehand
,
it
could
not
have
turned
out
better
for
him
;
but
Princes
are
always
lucky
.
"
339
"
Dear
me
!
"
said
the
little
Squib
,
"
I
thought
it
was
quite
the
other
way
,
and
that
we
were
to
be
let
off
in
the
Prince
's
honour
.
"
340
"
It
may
be
so
with
you
,
"
he
answered
;
"
indeed
,
I
have
no
doubt
that
it
is
,
but
with
me
it
is
different
.
I
am
a
very
remarkable
Rocket
,
and
come
of
remarkable
parents
.
My
mother
was
the
most
celebrated
Catherine
Wheel
of
her
day
,
and
was
renowned
for
her
graceful
dancing
.
When
she
made
her
great
public
appearance
she
spun
round
nineteen
times
before
she
went
out
,
and
each
time
that
she
did
so
she
threw
into
the
air
seven
pink
stars
.
She
was
three
feet
and
a
half
in
diameter
,
and
made
of
the
very
best
gunpowder
.
My
father
was
a
Rocket
like
myself
,
and
of
French
extraction
.
He
flew
so
high
that
the
people
were
afraid
that
he
would
never
come
down
again
.
He
did
,
though
,
for
he
was
of
a
kindly
disposition
,
and
he
made
a
most
brilliant
descent
in
a
shower
of
golden
rain
.
The
newspapers
wrote
about
his
performance
in
very
flattering
terms
.
Indeed
,
the
Court
Gazette
called
him
a
triumph
of
Pylotechnic
art
.
