OTHER WISE MEN OF GOTHAM.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Baldwin, James
"Let us ride back to London, and tell the king all about them," said the sheriff.
"Yes, let us do so," said the horsemen.
So they went back, and told the king that Gotham was a town of fools; and the king laughed, and said that if that was the case, he would not harm them, but would let them keep their noses.
