that's not interesting?"

Gwenny realized that Metria would not be denied. "If we tell you what
we're up to, will you leave us alone?"

"That depends. Let's make a different deal: if what you tell me is
interesting, I'll tell you something interesting."

Gwenny looked at Che. "Is that a good deal?"

"It probably is," the centaur said. "I understand that Metria always
honors her deals, and always tells the truth.

But that often the deal doesn't turn out the way the other party thinks
it will, and often the truth is not what h(-, wants to hear."

lxletria shot him a glance. "Even little centaurs are entirely too
intelligent."

"However," Che continued, "it will be necessary to obtain her commitment
to privacy, because our mission is of a private nature."

Metria grimaced. "That ruins half the fun of it. But secrets are more
interesting than what everyone knows.

I'll agree."

"Very well," Gwenny decided. "I'll make that deal."

For she realized that if their story bored the demoness, she would go
away, and that was what they really wanted.

"My father, Gouty Goblin, just died, and I have to try to be the first
female goblin chief of Goblin Mountain. But I can't see very well
without spectacles, and I'll never get to be chief if the other goblins
know that, so I've got to get contact lenses instead. I'm going to ask
the Good Magician where I can get them."

"The first female chief," Metria said. "Does that mean your tribe of
goblins will start acting civilized?"

"Yes."

"I can see that there will be no entertainment there.

But of course you may not win the chiefship, in which case the goblins
will continue to be interesting."

"Yes."
