Thus, after all his trials and privations, this Royal and kindly creature was restored to his throne. The crown was done up and beautifully polished, and the old King once more crowned in great state. To show his gratitude to his brave and faithful followers he
appointed them all (with the exception of the Triplets, who soon returned to Blowdripping) to places of honour in his court. Thus:—
| Bill, | Commander-in-chief of the Army. |
| The Real Soldier, | General under Bill. |
| The Scout, | Officer of the Army. |
| Nine Sons of Crispin, | Bodyguard to the King. |
| The Camp-Followers and others | The Army. |
| Boadicea, | Royal Housekeeper. |
| Ancient Mariner, | Admiral of the Fleet. |
| Sicilian Char-woman, | Head Char-woman to Royal Household. |
| The Merchant's Wife, | Superintendent of the Prison. |
| The Doctor, | Court Physician. |
| Ptolemy Jenkinson, | King's Valet. |
| Respectable Gentleman, | Master of Good Behaviour to the Royal Household. |
| Long Man, | Hall Porter at Royal Palace. |
| Musician, | Court Musician. |
| Wild Man, | Park Keeper. |
| Policeman, | Preserver of the Peace. |
With such a gallant court and brave army around him the dear old man was saved from further troubles in his State during the remainder of his long and happy reign. In fact Troy became the very happiest town in the world, and the old King's noble followers were so contented with their lot that they never again left the city of Troy.
