said the Dwarf , showing his yellow teeth with a detestable grin ; while Ricardo turned quite white with anger , and not knowing how to deal with this insufferable little monster . `` I 'm a widower , I am , '' said the Dwarf , `` though I 'm out of mourning , '' for he wore a dirty clay-coloured Yellow jacket . `` My illustrious consort , the Princess Frutilla , did not behave very nice , and I had to avenge my honour ; in fact , I 'm open to any offers , however humble . Going at an alarming sacrifice ! Come to my box '' -LRB- and he pointed to a filthy clay cottage , all surrounded by thistles , nettles , and black boggy water -RRB- , `` and I 'll talk over your proposals . '' `` Hold your impudent tongue ! '' said Dick . `` The Princess Frutilla was an injured saint ; and as for the lady whom I shall not name in your polluting presence , I am her knight , and I defy you to deadly combat ! '' We may imagine how glad the princess was when -LRB- disguised as a wasp -RRB- she heard Dick say he was her knight ; not that , in fact , he had thought of it before . `` Oh ! you 're for a fight , are you ? '' sneered the Dwarf . `` I might tell you to hit one of your own weight , but I 'm not afraid of six of you . Yah ! mammy 's brat ! Look here , young Blinkers , I do n't want to hurt you . Just turn old Dobbin 's head , and trot back to your mammy , Queen Rosalind , at Pantouflia . Does she know you 're out ? '' `` I 'll be into you , pretty quick , '' said Ricardo . `` But why do I bandy words with a miserable peasant ? ''
