Excerpt from Jack the Giant-Killer
And we read that some emperors are feasting in company at their splendid revels, while another is torn from his throne and carried away by a furious and angry foe, by a giant of the race which has filled the world with such terror in its time. Of late a young giant of that very tribe has marched through our own streets; a giant at play, it is true, and feeding his morbid appetite with purses, chains, and watches, and iron park railings; but who shall say that he may not perhaps grow impatient as time goes on, and cry for other food?
