“Abigail! Bad Dog!”
the seven battalions of the Lepracaun- rent all her needlework asunder
- made a merry, scornful sound
- the princess’s spaniel
- “Hop! Hop!” he cried
“Abigail! Bad dog!” exclaimed Princess Flamisham after Abigail, the princess’s spaniel, made a merry, scornful sound and rent all her needlework asunder.
But soon the princess marveled at her pet’s alertness, for revealed beneath the ruined coverlet were the tiny General Shamrock and the seven battalions of the Lepracaun.
“Good dog, Abigail! Sic ’em!”
Shamrock issued commands in a frenzy, hoping to avoid a total massacre. “Hop! Hop!” he cried.
