Project 5 Haroun and the Sea Stories
The sounds of heated quarrelling came across the water from the Barge-Birds: “I say it’s a Wild Goose Chase to go after Batcheat!” — “Yes, and what’s more, she looks like a Wild Goose, too.” — “How dare you, sirrah? That’s our beloved Princess you’re talking about; our estimable Prince Bolo’s intended and beauteous bride!” —

7 INTO THE TWILIGHT
“Beauteous? Have you forgotten that voice, that nose, those teeth … ?” — “Okay, okay. No need to go into that.” Haroun noticed that old General Kitab himself, mounted on a winged mechanical horse very like Bolo’s, was flitting from Barge-Bird to Barge-Bird to keep in touch with the various discussions; and such was the freedom evidently allowed to the Pages and other citizens of Gup, that the old General seemed perfectly happy to listen to these tirades of insults and insubordination without batting an eyelid. In fact, it looked to Haroun as if the General was on many occasions actually provoking such disputes, and then joining in with enthusiastic glee, sometimes taking one side, and at other times Gust for fun) expressing the opposite point of view.
Haroun mused. “If any soldiers behaved like this on Earth, they’d be court-martialled quick as thinking.”
“It is Love,” Mali said. “It is all for Love. Which is a wonderful and dashing matter. But which can also be a very foolish thing.”
“What an army!” The light failed slowly, then more quickly.
STRIP
“But but but what is the point of giving persons Freedom of Speech,”
declaimed Butt the Hoopoe, “if you then say they must not utilize same? And is not the Power of Speech the greatest Power of all? Then surely it must be exercised to the full?” “It’s certainly getting a lot of exercise today,” Haroun replied. “I don’t believe you Guppees could keep a secret to save your lives.” “We could tell secrets to save our lives, however,” Iff replied. “I, for example, know a large many secrets of great juiciness and interest.” “I, also,” Butt the Hoopoe said without moving its beak. “Shall we begin?”
“No,” said Haroun flatly. “We shall not begin.” Rashid was beside himself with delight. “Well, well, well, young Haroun Khalifa,” he chortled, “you certainly did make some blinking funny friends.”
HAROUN AND THE SEA OF STORIES SALMAN RUSHDIE
after interminable wranglings, agreed. And when Rashid Khalifa, who was beginning to be as dubious as Haroun about the value of so much’ loose talk, ventured to question its wisdom, then Iff and Butt and Mali and Goopy and Bagha fell to arguing about this question, too, with as much energy and passion as before.
on the far horizon. For him there was no argument; Batcheat came first; the issue was beyond dispute.
Only Prince Bolo remained aloof Prince Bolo rode his flying mechanical steed through the sky at the head of the Guppee forces, saying nothing, looking neither to left nor right, his eyes fixed
It was Mali, the floating Gardener, striding along beside him, walking on the water, who replied in flowery voice through fleshy “lilac lips.”
They were in the Twilight Strip! And so the Guppee armada proceeded on its merry way, with all its members busily dissecting General Kitab’s most secret battle-plans (which, of course, he cheerfully revealed to anyone who cared to ask). These plans were itemized, scrutinized, rationalized, analysed, mulled over, chewed over, made much of, made little of, and even,
“How is it,” Haroun wondered, “that Bolo can be so certain, when every other Guppee in this armada seems to take for ever to make up his mind about anything?”
