They held a hurried whispered conference. "Look," Carola said, seeing
that the other three appeared to be at a loss for the moment. "Either
he's the harmless senile old man that he appears, in which case he can't
really have
cursed us; or else he's
an eccentric and potentially dangerous wizard, and we really have been
cursed. We have no way
of being sure which is true. In the first
case, we don't need to threaten him, whilst in the second case to
antagonise him
further could only make matters worse. That only leaves reasoning with
him."
Turning back towards the old man, she said: "Sir, Fred didn't mean any harm, and I'm sure he'd like to apologise for losing his temper. Please would you consider lifting your curse?"
