Who Is the Better-qualified Dragon Slayer?

"Maybe that would be best," Astra replied. "Although it might be wiser if you left killing him to me. I suspect that I have more experience of this sort of thing than you do. When I approach the dragon coated in gold dust as he commanded, he's going to think that he has bent me to his will. That way, I can get close enough to him to drive my sword deep into his throat."

"There seems to be two problems with your plan. First, you don't appear to have a sword. Second, isn't the dragon going to be suspicious if you approach him brandishing one? If all you're wearing is gold dust, then you are going to have trouble concealing it."

1. "Oh dear, you're right."
2. "But you don't have a sword either."
3. "Ah, but I have a sword magically enchanted to be invisible. That's why you can't see it."
4. "All right, I made up all that stuff about the dragon. I'm really doing it for Mr Goldfinger. He's going to pay me well."
