+"How long have you lived?" asked Button-Bright.
+
+The King coughed again and turned a bit bluer. "That is considered
+an impertinent question in Sky Island," he answered, "but I will say
+that every Boolooroo is elected to reign three hundred years, and
+I've reigned not quite---ahem!---two hundred."
+
+"Are your kings elected, then?" asked Cap'n Bill.
+
+"Yes, of course. This is a Republic, you know. The people elect all
+their officers from the King down. Every man and every woman is a
+voter. The Boolooroo tells them whom to vote for, and if they don't
+obey, they are severely punished. It's a fine system of government,
+and the only thing I object to is electing the Boolooroo for only
+three hundred years. It ought to be for life. My successor has
+already been elected, but he can't reign for a hundred years to
+come."
+
+"I think three hundred years is plenty long enough," said Trot. "It
+gives someone else a chance to rule, an' I wouldn't be s'prised if
+the next king is a better one. Seems to me you're not much of a
+Boolooroo."
