"Er, that will have to wait," Fred said. "There is something else that I have to do very urgently first. Do you think that you could turn your head to the wall for a couple of minutes?"

"What a strange thing to ask! I'm afraid that the answer is no. The Dragon has made such a thorough job of my chains, that I have almost no freedom of movement. Why would you want me to do that, anyway?"

4. The worried expression suddenly left Fred's face. "It's all right," he said. "The need that I was feeling has vanished as abruptly as it came. That sometimes happens." The young woman looked at him uncomprehendingly.
