Robert is Keeping Clear

"I just wanted to keep well away from Astra till she's calmed down. She was threatening to tear me limb from limb. Of course, she doesn't really mean it - she loves me really - but even so I felt I'd better let her calm down a little. It didn't help that, though Alexis has found a shirt to wear, nothing will fit Astra. Of course, she'll thank me for this one day."

Fred hoped that Astra's anger was a good sign, suggesting that she was getting over feeling depressed. "You still have one wish left," he reminded Robert. "If you're a gentleman, then you'll use it to undo your previous wish."

"But unfortunately I'm not - not by your definition anyway."

"Then if you won't help Astra, at least use the wish sensibly. Wish us back home."

"How could that be as good as being marooned here with all these lovely girls? But you are the fly in the ointment, Fred, being male and disagreeable. So I'm going to use my final wish:

1. "To send you home, while the rest of us stay here."
2. "To cause you never to have existed."
3. "To turn you into a woman."
4. "To make you think that I'm wonderful, so you'll agree with everything I say."
