“And we saved your life, y’know,” Andrew said, jerking his head in Oliver’s direction. “I mean, the least you could do is thank us.”

“Of course!” Oliver said hastily. “Thank you very much for saving my life.” “It was really dangerous back there,” Patricia said earnestly, as if wanting to make sure that he understood what kind of situation they had rescued him from. “Yes, beheading is a serious business, I suppose,” Oliver said kindly. “I think it would have been difficult to keep on living once my head was chopped off.” — Zeinab Alayan |

“He heard Louis’ voice before he saw him. “Beautiful women?” he was saying. Then the door opened and the woman reappeared, holding the wooden lion between her arms. Oliver noticed that her hair was drawn across her face now. “Where are they? Have they come to see the -- Oliver!”
“Hello, Louis,” Oliver said, giving the lion a small wave.
Louis pointed a finger at him. “He’s no beautiful woman!” he said indignantly. Then he noticed Sophie and Julia and his whole attitude changed. He dropped his voice to a husky tone. “Why, hello there, ladies.”

“Sophie coughed, and Oliver felt his cheeks becoming warm. “Don’t be an ass, Andrew,” he mumbled.
“That’s a little bit difficult to accomplish, y’know?” Andrew retorted. “I mean, unless you’d be so kind so as to paint me with black and white stripes, then I’d be a zebra!”

“There we go,” he said cheerfully, after he’d started up a fire. The two puppets, still huddled in his pockets, seemed to wake up when they felt the heat of the flames, and they scampered out of sight, squealing for dear life. Oliver laughed heartily. “I’m not going to set you on fire. Come back here.”
