Fred Attempts to Make a Deal

"I never heard that you got married," the guard said suspiciously.

"So? That doesn't necessarily mean that I don't have a daughter."

"I suppose not. But from the look of you you can't be more than twenty-eight or so. Just how old is this daughter of yours?"

"Fifteen. I sowed my wild oats very early. And seeing that this is a medieval society, fifteen makes her easily of marriageable age."

1. "You're lying through your teeth! You don't have a daughter."
2. "All right, we have a deal. Rats, leave him alone. He's under my protection." To Fred's astonishment, the rats back off.
3. "All right, we have a deal. I'll set you free."
