Then ten o'clock struck , and then eleven , and then twelve , and at the last stroke of midnight every one came out on the terrace , and the King sent for the Royal Pyrotechnist . `` Let the fireworks begin , '' said the King ; and the Royal Pyrotechnist made a low bow , and marched down to the end of the garden . He had six attendants with him , each of whom carried a lighted torch at the end of a long pole . It was certainly a magnificent display . Whizz ! Whizz ! went the Catherine Wheel , as she spun round and round . Boom ! Boom ! went the Roman Candle . Then the Squibs danced all over the place , and the Bengal Lights made everything look scarlet . `` Good-bye , '' cried the Fire-balloon , as he soared away , dropping tiny blue sparks . Bang ! Bang ! answered the Crackers , who were enjoying themselves immensely . Every one was a great success except the Remarkable Rocket . He was so damp with crying that he could not go off at all . The best thing in him was the gunpowder , and that was so wet with tears that it was of no use . All his poor relations , to whom he would never speak , except with a sneer , shot up into the sky like wonderful golden flowers with blossoms of fire . Huzza !
XXXXX !
