Mertix wondered if Fred was under an enchantment to always be happy. If she was, then perhaps it would be better to leave it in place for now, since if it was removed then - if it was true that she was really a knight - she might well become deeply depressed. As to restoring her to her rightful form, he knew that at best it would be extremely difficult and at worst it might well prove impossible. He would need to consult his books of magic and see if he could find a suitable spell. Meanwhile it seemed best to introduce Fred to the ladies-in-waiting. They could keep her amused for the hours or days that his research would take.
Telling Fred of his intention to introduce her to the ladies of the court, he said: "But you mustn't tell them that you are really a man. If they believed you, it would tend to inhibit conversation. And if they didn't believe you, then they would probably conclude that you were insane. So you are going to need a female name to go by. The merchant who sold you as a statue called you Ava. Would you be happy with that?" It seemed that Fred was happy with everything, so it was no surprise when she smiled and said: "Ava is a lovely name. I shall be very happy to use it. So Mertix introduced her to the ladies as "Ava", and left them chatting. Meanwhile, what had happened to Belboz, whose mind had been possessing Fred's body up to the point when that body was petrified?
