Drive on , Jack . '' '' ` As a prins in distress , I apeal to your valler , so renouned in Europe . I am kept out of my own ; my royal father , King Gems , ' -- well , this is the worst spelling I ever saw in my life ! He means King James , -- ` my royal father , King Gems , being druv into exile by a crewl Usurper , the Elector of Hannover . King Gems is old , and likes a quiat life ; but I am determined to make an effort , if I go alone , and Europe shall here of Prince Charles . Having heard -- as who has not ? -- of your royal Highness 's courage and sordsmanship , I throw myself at your feet , and implore you to asist a prins in distres . Let our sords be drawn together in the caus of freedom and an outraged country , my own . '' ' I remain , '' ` Prins and dear Cuzen , '' ` CHARLES , P. W. ' `` P. W. means Prince of Wales , '' added Jaqueline . `` He is turned out of England you know , and lives at Rome with his father . '' `` I like that chap , '' said Prince Ricardo . `` He does not spell very well , as you say , but I sometimes make mistakes myself ; and I like his spirit . I 've been looking out for an adventure ; but the big game is getting shy , and my sword rusts in his scabbard . I 'll tell you what , Jack -- I 've an idea ! I 'll put him on the throne of his fathers ; it 's as easy as shelling peas : and as for that other fellow , the Elector , I 'll send him back to Hanover , wherever that may be , and he can go on electing , and polling his vote in peace and quietness , at home . Just wait till I spot the places . '' The prince ran up to the turret , fetched the magic spy-glass , and looked up London , Rome , and Hanover , as you would in a map . `` Well , Dick , but how do you mean to do it ? '' `` Do it ? -- nothing simpler !
I just take my Seven-league Boots , run over to Rome , pick up Prince Charles , put him on the magic carpet , fly to XXXXX , clap the Cap of Darkness on him so that nobody can see him , set him down on the throne of his fathers ; pick up the Elector , carry him over to his beloved Hanover , and the trick is done -- what they call a bloodless revolution in the history books .
