"Us, your Highness!" replied Notta, bowing as low as his disguise would permit, and drawing Bob forward.

"B stands for buttons
And B stands for bears,
B stands for buttons and boy—
Bring two chairs!"
"Nonsense!" thundered the Queen. The doormen hastily brought two chairs and Bob and Notta sat down.
