He
remembered
to
have
heard
that
the
Duke
who
owned
that
country
was
said
to
be
very
fond
of
good
living
,
and
so
,
as
soon
as
the
day
was
sufficiently
advanced
,
he
made
his
way
to
the
palace
.
The
porter
at
the
great
gateway
laughed
at
him
in
scorn
when
he
said
he
wished
to
see
the
chief
cook
,
but
on
his
persisting
he
led
him
across
the
courtyard
;
all
the
servants
who
were
about
the
place
stared
at
him
,
and
then
followed
in
his
train
,
laughing
and
jeering
at
him
.
They
made
such
an
uproar
that
the
steward
came
out
to
see
what
all
the
noise
was
about
.
He
carried
a
whip
in
his
hand
and
with
it
he
laid
about
him
right
and
left
.
"
You
hounds
,
"
said
he
,
"
how
dare
you
disturb
your
master
's
slumbers
?
Do
n't
you
know
that
he
is
not
awake
yet
?
"
82
"
But
,
sir
,
"
cried
the
servants
,
"
look
what
brings
us
here
.
Is
that
not
excuse
enough
?
Look
at
the
queer
little
dwarf
we
are
bringing
you
?
"
83
As
the
steward
saw
poor
Jacob
he
had
hard
work
to
keep
from
laughing
,
too
,
but
as
he
considered
it
would
be
beneath
his
dignity
to
join
in
the
mirth
with
the
other
servants
he
managed
to
restrain
himself
,
and
driving
them
off
with
his
whip
,
led
Jacob
into
his
own
apartments
and
asked
him
what
he
wanted
.
Jacob
begged
to
be
conducted
to
the
head
cook
,
but
the
steward
could
scarcely
believe
him
.

"
Surely
,
my
little
man
,
it
is
to
me
you
wish
to
apply
for
a
situation
.
Do
you
not
wish
to
become
the
Duke
's
jester
?
"
85
"
No
,
sir
,
"
replied
the
dwarf
.
"
I
am
a
first-rate
cook
and
understand
how
to
prepare
all
sorts
of
delicacies
.
I
thought
the
head
cook
might
be
willing
to
make
use
of
my
art
.
"
86
"
Every
man
to
his
own
liking
,
little
man
;
but
it
seems
to
me
you
are
rather
a
foolish
fellow
.
As
the
Duke
's
jester
you
would
have
had
no
work
to
do
,
fine
clothes
to
wear
,
and
plenty
of
good
food
to
eat
and
drink
.
Still
,
we
will
see
what
we
can
do
for
you
,
though
I
doubt
if
your
cookery
is
sufficiently
good
to
suit
the
Duke
's
table
,
and
you
are
too
good
to
be
made
a
mere
scullion
of
.
"
87
The
steward
then
led
him
to
the
head
cook
,
to
whom
Jacob
hastened
to
offer
his
services
.
The
head
cook
took
a
good
look
at
him
and
burst
out
laughing
.
"
You
a
cook
indeed
!
"
he
said
scornfully
.
"
Why
,
you
could
not
reach
the
top
of
the
stove
to
stir
a
pan
.
Someone
has
been
making
game
of
you
in
sending
you
here
.

But
Jacob
was
not
to
be
put
off
in
this
way
.
"
Of
what
account
are
a
few
eggs
,
syrup
and
wine
,
flour
and
spices
in
a
house
like
this
?
"
he
said
;
"
order
me
to
make
any
tasty
dish
you
can
think
of
and
allow
me
to
have
the
ingredients
I
require
and
you
shall
soon
judge
whether
or
no
I
am
a
good
cook
.
"
89
"
Well
,
so
be
it
,
"
said
the
head
cook
,
and
,
taking
the
steward
's
arm
,
he
led
the
way
to
the
kitchen
.
"
Just
for
the
joke
of
the
thing
we
will
let
the
little
man
do
as
he
wishes
.
"

The
kitchen
was
a
magnificent
place
.
