AS PROMISED as part of this episode. Comparatively, Zorn of Zorna hardly appears in the second half of Thurber's book. His great battle with the Duke's Iron Guard and its commander, Kang, occurs offstage while the Golux and Saralinda discover how to start the frozen clocks. The origins of Hark and, to a degree Saralinda are explained, and, inevitably, the Todal, an unspeakable agent of the Devil sent to punish evildoers for not being evil enough, gleeps the Duke; after this there is nothing left. Pictured: The Toads in the Rice that ate the Poppycockalorum and the Cockahoopatrice. Their tale was related by the Golux (see part one, last week's podcast) to prompt Hagga, the woman who could weep jewels and precious stones, to shed her famous tears. The prompt was unsuccessful-- she was stony-faced --but unexpectedly Hagga then wept the Tears of Laughter, producing the thousand jewels the iron Duke had demanded. Unknown to the Duke's avarice, however, the Tears of Laughter, unlike the Tears of Sorrow, melt in a fortnight back to salt tears. When this happened, with a sound like sighing, the Duke had to face the Todal, and despite his Destiny-defying resistance in the face of overwhelming doom, was swiftly, and inevitably gleeped.
