"We have lots of friends at Madame Candida's brothel, where we worked as bawdy girls until very recently," Freda said, drawing on the false memories that Pronklezilch had given her. "Many of them are young and beautiful." Vanity nearly made her add "but none of them is as young or nearly as beautiful as us", but she managed to resist the temptation.
The crone hesitated, then said: "Really? So where is this brothel?" Since Freda and Astra had been teleported to the forest, they had no idea. For all they knew it could be a hundred miles away. But although their bawdy girl personas were none too bright, they had a strong enough sense of self-preservation not to admit their ignorance. "It's not very far." Astra said. "Tell me how to get there." "I don't think that we could," Freda said. "It's a bit complicated. But if you set us free, then we can act as guides." At least a journey would buy them some time, and they might get a chance to overpower the old woman or to flee.
