“Now then ！ Don’t cry out before you’re hurt，or you will be hurt，see ？ Anyone would think it was a pig being killed.”
“That was good hunting,”exclaimed the Prince，immediately turning Coalblack and coming back to the corner of the house. “Eustace,”he said，“of your courtesy，take Coalblack’s head.”Then he dismounted，and all three gazed in silence while Puddleglum pulled his catch out into the light. It was a most miserable little gnome，only about three feet long. It had a sort of ridge，like a cock’s comb（only hard），on the top of its head， little pink eyes，and a mouth and chin so large and round that its face looked like that of a pigmy hippopotamus. If they had not been in such a tight place，they would have burst into laughter at the sight of it.
“Now，Earthman,”said the Prince，standing over it and holding his sword point very near the prisoner’s neck，“speak， up，like an honest gnome，and you shall go free. Play the knave with us，and you are but a dead Earthman. Good Puddleglum
