So...trying to remember something guys and I know how you always like to be helpful.
It's a short story about some midget in a King's chambers who has a funny walk and he goes all mental at the end and you can hear him grinding his teeth and he ends up flying about the room and fucking shit up and that and I can't remember the name of it and it was in English class too many years ago and I'm going to finish this sentence now.

The story may well be named after the midget in question.
It may not, though.

I thought it was by Poe, but I don't think it is.
I think there is also some sort of masquerade going on in the story. Maybe if I type out enough shit I'll end up remembering it myself.

Clearly there were, otherwise HBLC wouldn't have said it.

just in case anyone is reading this and also trying to remember a story they read called "Hop Frog"
You can find out that the story you read was called "Hop Frog" by going to google and typing "king midget gait" into the search engine.
