There were many in the ghetto who would happily have taken advantage of
Fred's unconsciousness, and who would have made such a thorough job of

Young women commented on how handsome the knight looked; young men ogled the lady; middle-aged men were slapped by their wives if they were suspected of doing likewise; whilst old men and women muttered darkly that these were most likely a pair of demons, from their good looks quite possibly an incubus and a succubus. "We should send for a member of the order of the White Hand," one of the brighter members of the crowd suggested. "What has happened is clearly magical, so a mage is the best person to deal with it." This was generally agreed to be a good idea, so a boy was quickly dispatched to run to the lodgings of the nearest mage and bring him to the scene.
