Alfred knealt by the magic coconut: "Oh, magic coconut, make an old man's
wish come true. Make Astra's clothes and armor disappear." At that moment Astra was walking up the beach to the huts near Alfred. Alfred saw her clothes vanish. He felt a little tingle of manly joy inside him, but then his craftiness continued. "My lady," he said, hobbling up to her, "did you leave your armor on the beach?" "No. It's right . . ." She gazed down but saw nothing. "How odd," she said softly. "My lady," persisted Alfred, "would you like me to fashion you more clothing? I'm very good, you know." He placed a hand on Astra's shoulder. It felt very odd. Her armor had not ceased to exist, as he had wished. It had merely ceased to be visible.
