The Sword in the Stone Page #3

You had no business

letting him go.

Look, Dad, I'm not

the Wart's keeper.

Well, blast it all, I am.

After all, I, I took him in,

adopted the lad, you might say.

Being his foster father,

well, I'm responsible.

Whoop.

Tiger! Talbot! Off with you.

Now, look here, Wart.

What's the big idea of

gallivanting off in the woods...

and worrying the living

daylights out of everybody?

- I'm sorry, sir.

- Well, sorry's not enough.

That's four demerits.

Four hours extra kitchen duty.

Eh, report to the cook!

- But, sir, I'd like you to meet...

- Go on, hop it, boy, hop, hop, hop it!

Well, yes, you've got to keep a tight

schedule to run a big place like this.

Need strict rules.

Especially for small boys.

And I most certainly agree.

Who are you and...

Oh. I mean, uh, you?

Uh, my name is Merlin.

Uh, this is Archimedes.

A highly educated owl.

Educated owl?

Say, that's a good one.

Say. Hey, I know.

You've got him under a spell,

Marvin. You're a magician.

The name is Merlin.

And I happen to be the world's

most powerful wizard.

Come off it, man.

Gadzooks!

All right.

I shall demonstrate.

Higitus figitus migitus moe...

wind and snow

swirl and blow!

What the devil

are you up to?

And that is what I call

a "wizard blizzard."

Hey, Kay, would

you look at this?

An indoor blizzard.

And in the month of July.

So what?

All right, Marvin. Turn her off.

I'm convinced.

Alakazam!

I, uh... I hope you don't go in

for any of that black magic.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Never touch the stuff. No.

My magic is used mainly

for educational purposes.

In fact, that is why

I am here.

I have come

to educate the Wart.

Oh, no, you don't.

I'm running this place. And if you think

you're gonna fiddle with my schedule...

you'd better pack up your bag

of tricks and be gone.

Wha... Well, by Jove.

Hey, he's gone.

Hm-mmm. Good riddance.

I'm gone, but then,

I'm not gone.

So, if I do leave...

you could never be sure

that I am gone, can you?

Well, uh...

Well, I must say, you...

you got me there, Marvin.

Yes. Well, you win. You're

welcome to stay if you like.

Thank you.

You're very kind.

Very generous, I must say.

Well, uh, all we can offer

is room and board.

Hard times,

you know, Marvin.

We'll put you up

in the northwest tower.

That's the guest room.

It's a bit draughty in the winter...

but in this blazing hot weather,

it's the best room in the house.

Oh, yes.

Very lovely indeed.

So just make yourself

at home, Marvin.

Marvin, Marvin,

Marvin, Marvin.

Best room in the house!

Guest room!

Unwelcome-guest room!

But if he thinks that he can get rid of

me, I've got news for that old walrus.

- I'm sticking it out.
