"Wonderful!" cried Andrea. "Thank you!" And she turned towards the door,
eager to locate the lemon tree and halt her terrible transformation. But a
sudden thought occured to her, and, despite her haste, she found she had to
voice it. "Wait a minute... I thought you knew nothing of the world
outside this room? How do you know about the lemon tree... or the wasps
for that matter?" "I didn't," the man smiled. "But that was when I was a minor character whose function was to provide atmosphere. I've since been elevated to a minor character whose function is to provide exposition." "Oh, I see," said Andrea, who didn't really. But she could not afford to waste any more time, as she could now feel antennae starting to grow from her forehead. So she bid the strange man a hasty farewell and dashed back to the castle entrance and around the curve of the castle wall, where she quickly located the lemon tree.
