But every one is saying, the King is out in this festival: every one.

Why, so he is, of course: but he has no heralds, no army, no retinue, no music bands or lights to accompany him.

Perhaps there are a few that can.

And those that can recognise him—does the King grant them whatever they ask for?

But they never ask for anything. No beggar will ever know the King.
