"There are no Varich here, except one and he quite very tame."

"Well, I'll not harm you, Mister Lion, too fond of narnia books"

THAT makes him preen. "Oh, you are fond of books? Let me escort you to someplace nice. Though - I fear I must first ask you to wash your hands."

"As you like, Sir. As you are takinngg part in my liberationn I'll be happy to defer to some direction, though intretation can be difficult"

Vince leads the gentleman first to a room where he can clean up, and liberates some clothing from a hamper that looks around his size. Surely the young lordling will not mind.

Surely!

Once tidied and dressed, the Sluagh is lead onwards. "I understand that your name is Sir Vincent Lionheart... but pray, I have forgotten, what I should be called?"

"Hughende Pender, and I must say, you're a capital chap to get me clotthes."

"I am sorry about the perversely new and dapper nature of your spats. Now, to the dungeon." Vince announces, and opens the library door. "Where the only ones within must speak in whispers, and a dragon guards thy every word."

And the library is quite crowded. By library standards. At least four sluagh, none of which he knnows, gathered about tea

"Oh, dear. Room for one more?"

"Mister Pender, you made it too. Oh please, have a seat elder"

Vince bows to those gathered. "Pray, is there any aught missing of whom you have particular concern? I can surely find them in a trice."

A slender wilder says "All fifteen of us, we hope to find, and thank our rescuer... we are told we encountered a Miss Zara and Sir Earl. they maybe in danger yet. If you see them, please tell them the flicke flash seems to have worked?"

"A Miss Zara?" His expression blank and quizzical. "Never heard of one. However, the Librarian knows all who come and go, you'll simply have to ask her about that on her return."

Confusion, but Hughende Pender says "I believe he means Miss Zara IS the librraiann. Thank you again, Sir Vincent. "

"Then I shall return anon!" Vince bows, and sweeps out to look once more!

And so it maybe that Vince finnds his way down to the dungeons, where he hears chatter
