With an oath so awful that we dare not set it down , the dwarf dropped the diamond sword , sucked his injured limb , and began hopping about with pain . In a moment Prince Ricardo 's foot was on the blade of the diamond sword , which he passed thrice through the body of the Yellow Dwarf . Squirming fearfully , the little monster expired , his last look a defiance , his latest word an insult : `` Yah ! Gig-lamps ! '' Prince Ricardo wiped the diamond blade clean from its yellow stains . -LCB- The fight with the Yellow Dwarf : p141.jpg -RCB- `` Princess Frutilla is avenged ! '' he cried .

I shall restore the right fairy things to-night . As to the Fairy of the Desert , '' he said , forgetting that his Wishing Cap was on , `` I wish she were dead ! '' A hollow groan and the sound of a heavy body falling interrupted the king . He looked all about the room , but saw nothing . He was alone !
