This time, however, it was Puck himself who came forward and declared that, unless everyone of the fairies would promise to attend the next meeting, there should be no music. Now a meeting of the Welshery, whether fairies or human, without music was a thing not to be thought of. THIS TIME HOWEVER IT WAS PUCK HIMSELF WHO CAME FORWARD AND DECLARED THAT UNLESS EVERY ONE OF THE FAIRIES WOULD PROMISE TO ATTEND THE NEXT MEETING THERE SHOULD BE NO MUSIC NOW A MEETING OF THE WALCHERY WHETHER FAIRIES OR HUMAN WITHOUT MUSIC WAS A THING NOT TO BE THOUGHT OF
e the fairy that could beat him at tricks. It was Puck himself, who told the world that he was in the habit of doing all these things, and I want to see whether he was boasting." "Tut, tut, don't talk that way, about our king," said a fourth fairy. All this was only chaff and fun, for all the fairies were in good humor. They were only talking, to fill up the interval until the music began. Now the canny Welsh fairies had learned the trick of catching farthings, pennies and sixpences from the folks who have more curiosity in them than even fairies do. These human beings, cunning fellows that they are, let the curtain fall on a show, just at the most interesting part. Then they tell you to come next day and find out what is to happen. Or, as they say in a story paper, "to be continued in our next." Or, worse than all, the story teller stops, at some very exciting episode, and then passes the hat or collection-box around, to get the copper or silver of his listeners, before he will go on. EN BURN UP THINGS NOW I SHOULD LIKE TO SEE A FAIRY THAT COULD BE HIM AT TRICKS IT WAS PUCK HIMSELF WHO TOLD THE WORLD THAT HE WAS IN THE HABIT OF DOING THESE THINGS AND I WANT TO SEE WHETHER HE WAS BOASTING TUT TUT DON'T TALK THAT WAY ABOUT OUR KING SAID A FOURTH FAIRY ALL THIS WAS ONLY CHAFF AND FUN FOR THE FAIRIES WERE IN GOOD HUMOR THEY WERE ONLY TALKING TO FILL UP THE INTERVAL UNTIL THE MUSIC BEGAN NOW THE CANNY WELSH FAIRIES HAD LEARNED THE TRICK OF CATCHING FARTHINGS PENNIES AND SIXPENCES FROM THE FOLK WHO HAVE MORE CURIOSITY IN THEM THAN EVEN FAIRIES DO THESE HUMAN BEINGS CUNNING FELLOWS THAT THEY ARE LET THE CURTAIN FALL ON A SHOW JUST AT THE MOST INTERESTING PART THEN THEY TELL YOU TO COME THE NEXT DAY AND FIND OUT WHAT IS TO HAPPEN OR AS THEY SAY IN THE STORY PAPER TO BE CONTINUED IN OUR NEXT OR WORSE THAN ALL THE STORY TELLER STOPS AT SOME VERY EXCITING EPISODE AND THEN PASSES THE HAT OR COLLECTION BOX AROUND TO GET THE COPPER OR SILVER OF HIS LISTENERS BEFORE HE WOULD GO ON
