About this book

Kings in Exile is credited to Charles G. D. Roberts. The contents list gives titles among others such as Last Bull, The King of the Flaming Hoops and The Monarch of Park Barren. The text describes a great bull called Last Bull as growing more and more morose, while the head-keeper, Payne, declares him merely homesick, pining for the wind-swept levels of the open country.

A man named Horner notices, with a kind of sympathy, that the young eagle which had fallen with him had not come out of the affair without some damage. A speaker tells of something that kept disappearin’, comin’ back, goin’ away, comin’ back, and says he jest kept still, pretendin’ to ignore it.
