Take a Seat

If the palace gates hadn't been taken down to be painted Mr. Jellijorge would have known to not enter the Royal Gardens and if there had been a wet paint sign on the garden seat, Mr. Jellijorge would have known to not sit on the seat. As it was, Mr. Jellijorge entered the Royal Gardens, sat on the newly painted garden seat, became fixed so that he couldn't stand in the presence of the queen and was flung (seat and all) into the Royal Dungeons.
