Through the fire (7) [Through the fire]
Through the fire (7)
" Go ! Go ! " cried the Princess to Jack; and the fire-man, without more ado, seized him, and placing him on his shoulders flew through the air with him at a great rate, and was far from the palace before Jack could get breath to speak.
" A fine mess you nearly go t me into ! " grumbled the little man.
" What would have happened to me if the King had come up and heard you talking to the Princess of the very subject he had forbidden us all to mention ! "
Jack dared not say a word as his companion was so angry and on they went at a dreadful pace until they reached the long dark tunnel, and when they again came towards the light, the little man took Jack from his shoulders and flung him away with all his force, and he remembered nothing more till he found himself lying on the hearth-rug in his own room.
The fire had gone out and the only light in the room came from the street-lamps.
Jack jumped up and searched everywhere for any trace of the little man but could fine none.
He ran to the fireplace and called, but there was no answer, and at last he went shivering and cold to bed to dream of the Princess and the strange bright country underground.
