At High Boy's loud call, two Uplander Guards in purple kilts came / running to open the gates. They were as tall and comical as their King / and bowed deeply as they swung back the golden bars. High Boy was in / such haste to enter he did not lower himself sufficiently, and the / King's head was knocked severely on the top of the arch.
"Look what you're doing! " spluttered his Majesty, returning the salute / of the guards and waving for two small pages to approach.
