The Rose and the Ring
by William Makepeace Thackeray
— 1855 —
PRELUDE
SHOWS HOW THE ROYAL FAMILY SATE DOWN TO BREAKFAST
HOW KING VALOROSO GOT THE CROWN, AND PRINCE GIGLIO WENT WITHOUT
TELLS WHO THE FAIRY BLACKSTICK WAS, AND WHO WERE EVER SO MANY GRAND PERSONAGES BESIDES
HOW BLACKSTICK WAS NOT ASKED TO THE PRINCESS ANGELICA'S CHRISTENING
HOW PRINCESS ANGELICA TOOK A LITTLE MAID
HOW PRINCE GIGLIO BEHAVED HIMSELF
HOW GIGLIO AND ANGELICA HAD A QUARREL
HOW GRUFFANUFF PICKED THE FAIRY RING UP, AND PRINCE BULBO CAME TO COURT
HOW BETSINDA GOT THE WARMING PAN
HOW KING VALOROSO WAS IN A DREADFUL PASSION
WHAT GRUFFANUFF DID TO GIGLIO AND BETSINDA
HOW BETSINDA FLED, AND WHAT BECAME OF HER
HOW QUEEN ROSALBA CAME TO THE CASTLE OF THE BOLD COUNT HOGGINARMO
WHAT BECAME OF GIGLIO
WE RETURN TO ROSALBA
HOW HEDZOFF RODE BACK AGAIN TO KING GIGLIO
HOW A TREMENDOUS BATTLE TOOK PLACE, AND WHO WON IT
HOW THEY ALL JOURNEYED BACK TO THE CAPITAL
AND NOW WE COME TO THE LAST SCENE IN THE PANTOMIME
