Fred knew that to laugh at what Astra had told him of the other curses
might anger her, and with a supreme effort he managed to keep a straight
face. "It seems that you got the worst curse," he said. "Those other
things seem comparatively minor."
Astra frowned. "Not all of them were. I didn't mention the poor girl who found herself with two extra breasts, for instance. But we are wasting time. Let us go in search of the dragon." "Won't you please let me escort you to the exit?" Fred asked. "This is no place for a lady. When I have killed the dragon, I promise that I will bring you some of the creature's blood, so that you can see if it will lift your curse." "I am not feeling very ladylike just at the moment," Astra replied with a scowl. "I have a score to settle with that dragon. The only thing sustaining me whilst I was chained up was the thought that somehow I would get my revenge. But since the beast took my sword, I need a weapon. I could hardly take your own sword, but might I borrow the dagger from your belt?"
