Two Shady Characters
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 67256
|
As Astra reached another cave entrance, two men emerged from it and
approached her. They were strangely dressed for underground, wearing
ankle-length leather raincoats with the collars turned up and shiny,
pointed-toe, black shoes. Astra supposed that they must be wearing other
items
under the raincoats, but she could not see those. They had slicked-down
hair and, in spite of the gloom of the caves, wore dark glasses. Each of
them carried a suitcase.
"Hello, lady," one of them said. "I'm Luigi and this is my partner, Giorgio." "Hello. I'm Astra. Princess Astra, actually." "Pleased to meet cha, Astra. Would you like to earn yourself some easy money?" Luigi asked. "I'm afraid that I don't do the work thing," Astra replied, wondering why all of a sudden so many people should wish to employ her. "This would hardly count as work, it's so easy. Besides, if you had some money, you'd be able to buy some clothes. Though that corset is very fetching, perhaps you're feeling just a little under-dressed, I'm guessing?" "That's a good point, but for one thing. There's nowhere for me to buy clothes down here." "Now that's where you're wrong, Astra. Whilst the suitcase that I'm carrying is full of banknotes that could be yours, if you'd only oblige us, Giorgio's is filled with ladies' apparel, which we'd be happy to sell to you."
