The Fool and the Flying Ship Quotes

“Ahoy there, Lord Pegleg!" cried the Fool. "Why are you hopping on one foot?"

"And what would you have do on one foot?" the man asked. "Pirouette? Besides, if I were to untie my other foot I would move too fast for anyone to see me. Why, I would trip over the equator in one stride."

"That's pretty quick," the Fool said.

"If you think that's quick," the man replied, "you should have seen me before the old arthritis set in.”

“Moujiks. Right. What's a moujik?" the Tsar asked.
"Peasants, your majesty."
"Pheasants?"
"No! Peasants.”
