- [110](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/43/110/) — This is what you get for it!’
- [111](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/43/111/) — And he went into his kingdom and shut the door in her face, and she had to stay outside singing--
- [112](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tales/pg640/43/112/) — ‘Where’s my Augustus dear?
