“Oh spare me,” Astra said to the genie. In truth, she had no intentions of
smashing the bottle – and not because this little green gudgeon
might go homeless. Robert had played a clever hand with that last wish. But
the game was far from over. “Don’t worry,” she went on, “you’ll be
perfectly safe under MY supervision.” “Right,” the genie
nodded. “Well, you’ll know where to find me!” And back into the little
green bottle he went. Fred became visibly flustered. “My dear Astra,” he said. “I’m appalled by your lack of trust in our esteemed colleague, Sir Robert Billingsley, the most renowned and beloved outlaw in all of...” “Sir Robert?” Astra gasped. “Fred, you pummeled this miscreant into a state of unconsciousness but a few hours ago! Don’t you realize what’s going on here? He has you under a spell!”“Don’t pay her any heed, Fred,” Robert broke in. “She’s just jealous of the affection I’ve been showing you...” Astra seemed appalled. Fred seemed conflicted. On the one hand, Astra did make a viable point. On the other hand, Billingsley’s words seemed so inexplicably dead-on and true it was almost mesmerizing. The man was a true genius. And he had a good heart. What a wonderful man! “You know, she’s right,” Fred finally commented. Robert’s face paled for a moment. “I did subject you to much undeserved violence. I haven’t yet apologised for my indiscretions. Sir Robert, as a man of a honor, as a gentlemen, as a Lord of Suffex, and as a Knight of the King’s Court, I offer you my most sincere and humble apologies.”Billingsley gave Astra a contemptuous wink. “I accept,” he said simply. “Awwwww! How sweet!” Blonde #1 blathered. Blonde #2 seemed to agree. A lot. Both blondes began making out, much to Bob’s delight.Astra had had enough. She cast a knowing look in her brother’s<?> direction. Something had to be done.
