"Darah menetes ke dagunya saat dia diangkat ke atas lututnya, tali emas yang mengikat lengannya di belakang dan pergelangan kakinya. Arthur mendongak dan melihat mahkota berkilau yang mendesis turun. Aku Arthur Penhaligon, pikirnya putus asa ... Mahkota terjepit erat di kepalanya- dan Arthur jatuh diam-diam menjerit ke dalam kegelapan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Blood trickled down his chin as he was hauled up onto his knees, the golden rope securing his arms behind him and his ankles together. Arthur looked up and saw the fizzing sparkling crown coming down. I’m Arthur Penhaligon, he thought desperately... The crown was wedged tightly upon his head- and Arthur fell silently screaming into darkness.
