He had ridden post-haste, and in great astonishment asked what was the meaning of this horrible spectacle?

The King could not help being sorry for it; she was his mother; but he quickly consoled himself with his beautiful wife and children.，"How do you know that?" asked the inspector sharply.，"Who'd you say was agoin' to soon die?"
