ECHO TO THE SOUNDS OFMERRIMENT, FOR THE TER-.
RiBLE RULE OF THE FALSE DUKE SADONICK IS AT AN
END AND HIS FUNERAL IS BEING CELEBRATED. HE IS .
BURIED IN TAO PIECES, FOR DURING HIS TRIAL HIS HEAD
HAD BECOME SEPARATED FROM HIS SHOULDERS.

AT LONG LAST STEPHAN TAKES HIS RIGHT
FUL PLACE ON THE DUCAL THRONE. THE
CHRONICLES OF HIS TIME SHOW HIM TO BE
, A VERY POOR RULER, SPENDING ALL HIS
TIME IN HUNTING AND FROUC.
BUT EVEN HIS MISMANAGEMENT WAS SO MUCH
BETTER THAN THE HARSH RULE OF HIS LATE
UNCLE THAT HIS NAME WENT DOWN IN HISTORY
AS 'STEPHAN THE GOOD.'

THE NIGHT WRAPPED IN THEIR CLOAKS ON A BED OF BOUGHS;
OTHER TIMES THEY ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE A ROOF OVER
THEIR HEADS.

HOPE IT IS A HAUNCH OF ROAST VENISON.'
'THE SEA, ' ANSWERS HIS FATHER
SMELL THE SEA!'

AND COMPANION WITH DISGUST. THERE IS A FATUOUS LOOK ON HIS FACE.
