"What can I do for you, your Royal Highness?" asked Toby.

The Shahzada drew him yet further apart from the envious crowd, and whispered in his ear.

"Your Royal Highness," answered Toby, "it shall be done. Command that the boat be stopped at Greenwich."

So the boat was stopped at Greenwich, and the Shahzada, with Toby, debarked. Great cheering.
