“Bess protested. “You wouldn’t dare try pulling off that man’s beard!”
“Wouldn’t I!” George retorted. “If he’s one of Nancy’s enemies, I want to find out just who he is!”
Nancy smiled. “Thanks a million, George, but we Americans had better not cause any disturbance here. How about this idea? Why don’t we separate and meet at Holyrood Palace? Mr. Redbeard can’t follow all of us.”
