The man pulled from it a camp-chair with a back, and opened it, and set it up on the grass very near the edge of the glade, and announced that the throne was ready for the Empress, not of Great Britain and India, nor of any other part of the earth, but of the World; it was ready, and would she take her seat?
He explained that, as, at present, there were some things she didn't know anything about, she might as well sit in state.

So the Empress, who was not very big, sat in state.
The dog had pursued a rabbit, and was making a fool of himself.

The man selected from among the baggage left an ax, heavy and keen, and attacked a young spruce tree near.

It soon fell with a crash, and the Empress leaped up, but to sit down again and look interestedly at what was going on.
The man, the tree fallen, sheared off its wealth of fragrant tips, and laid the mass of it by the side of the great tree.

Then from out the wagon's leavings he dragged a tent, a simple thing, and, setting up two crotched sticks with a cross-pole, soon had it in its place.
