"And I like the look of her. Besides, the Latin scrolls in my library
need cataloguing, and if I can't find someone who knows a little of the
language, I'll have to do it myself."

"Give her a trial run first," a purplish green dragon advised.

Woraug snorted. "Latin and cherries jubilee! And for that you'd take
on a black-haired, snippy little-" "I'll thank you to be polite when
you're discussing my princess," Kazul said, and smiled fiercely.

"Nice little gal," Roxim said, nodding approvingly and waving
Cimorene's next-to-last handkerchief. "Got sense. Be good for you,
Kazul."

"If that's settled, I'm going to go find a snack," said the yellowish
green dragon.

Woraug looked around, but the other dragons seemed to agree with
Roxim.

"Oh, very well," Woraug said grumpily. "It's your choice, after all,
"It certainly is. Now, Princess, if you'll come this way, I'll get you
settled in."

Cimorene followed Kazul across the cave and down a tunnel. To her
relief, the ball of light came with her. She had the uncomfortable
feeling that if she had tried to walk behind Kazul in the dark, she
would have stepped on her tail, which would not have been a good
beginning.

Kazul led Cimorene through a long maze of tunnels and finally stopped
in another cave. "Here we are," the dragon said. "You can use the
small room over on the right. I believe my last princess left most of
the furnishings behind when she ran off with the knight."

"Thank you," Cimorene said. "When do I start my duties? And what are
they, please?"

"You start right away," said Kazul. "I'll want dinner at seven. In
the meantime, you can begin sorting the treasure." The dragon nodded
toward a dark opening on the left. "I'm sure some of it needs
repairing. There's at least one suit of armor with the leg off, and
some of the cheaper marc

swords are probably getting rusty. The rest of it really ought to be
rearranged sensibly. I can never find anything when I want it."

"What about the library you mentioned?" Cimorene asked.

"We'll see how well you do on the treasure room first," Kazul said.
