When Lord Fred had awakened from a sound and refreshing sleep, Alric and Belboz were already stirring. "These hammocks are excellent furnishings, Belboz. Are these your own invention?"

"I cannot say that I have ever been there, or would want to go there, considering the name." "I cannot say that I have ever been through a hurricane myself. I have never even boarded a ship. But one never knows where life will take you." Fred changed the topic, acting on impulse. "So Belboz, how much is the Princess worth?" "What do you mean by that?" "Well, if somebody wanted to take responsibility for her off your hands, what would make it worth your while to do so?"
