'And where would that be?' Slutter cut into the harrumphing.
'Where? Why, in the Royal Square, that's where.' Another harrumph.
'Tell them how you guard it,' Chug says.
'Well, twice a day I circle the Square.'
Stobey giggles, and so does Slutter. Suzanne and Roger are politely
silent.
'I see. You circle the Square. Well, what do you do if you see someone
who doesn't belong?' Stobey asks.
'Chase them around the nearest corner away from there, of course.'
'Isn't it strange for a grown knight and a unicorn to spend their time
circling a Square?' Roger is polite with his question.
'That's my job,' says Sir Lumpalot.
'Well, if that's your job,' says Slutter, 'what are you doing here?'
'Oh, I got a message that all of you were heading this way,' Sir Lumpalot
replies with a grin so wide it adds two more loops in his mustache and
they curl up so tight that the tips disappear back into the helmet. 'Kick-
Pow and I just thought we'd startle you, just for the fun of it. It worked,
didn't it?'
Sir Lumpalot laughs and pats Kick-Pow's silky smooth neck. Kick-Pow
snorts and paws the ground.
