"I am Crown Princess, and if they can do away with me and substitute Glucose for me they will be in control of the Castle and the Bee Government and can make a corner in honey."
"Villains!" cried Billy, "but between us we will foil them."
"You will help me?" said the Princess, looking earnestly at him.
"I will, I promise you. But now I must be on my way."
"Good-bye, Billy Bounce; don't forget me," said the Princess.
"I will see you soon. Good-bye, Honey Girl," and, with a farewell wave to the Princess, the General, and all the soldier bees, Billy jumped up and away in further search of Bogie Man.
