3rd Prince: This is all we got in the bag. (Holds
it out.) It is but very little.
Ogre: (Turning it out and counting it.) Coppers!
Silver! What is this? A piece of gold! Is that
what ye call little? What notions ye have! Take
care did ye keep any of it back! If ye did I'll
skin ye with the lash of my cat-o'-nine-tails.
(Shakes it.)
4th Prince: That is all we got. It should maybe
pay for our supper in some place.
Ogre: What supper? To go buy supper with
my money! It will go to add to my store of
treasure in the cave that is under ground.
5th Prince: We are hungry, very hungry. When
will the supper be ready?
Ogre: It will be ready whenever ye will ready
it for yourselves. Ye should know that by this time.
1st Prince: We would make it ready if we were
acquainted with the way.
Ogre: It is gone cracked ye are? What is it
ye are thinking to get for your supper? What
ailed ye that ye didn't climb a tree and suck a few
pigeon's eggs?
2nd Prince: We were thinking of a pigeon pie.
Ogre: A what!!!
