The Ring's Final Trick
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 36424
|
They had been walking along in silence for a while, when Astra said: "It
lookth ath though the river bendth to the left jutht ahead." Then she
clapped her hand over her mouth in alarm and astonishment.
With the parting gift of a lisp, the ring's tricks were complete. As she lifted her hand to her mouth, the thing slipped from her finger. "At leatht I'm rid of the damned ring now," she said, trying to look on the bright side. "I thuppothe that it might have been worthe." "If we ever get back to civilisation, a mage might be able to undo both the curses," Fred suggested. "Yeth. And if we don't get back to civilithation but, ath I fear, are fated to wander in the wilderneth for evermore, then baldneth and a lithp are little thingth in comparithon." Fred turned to look off to their left, pretending to observe where the course of the river ran. But the real reason was so that he could wipe Astra's spittle off his cheek without her noticing.
