Summary
"For God's sake, I know he was pretty, but is anything worth this much trouble?" I complained as the donkey stopped in the middle of the road, refusing to go any further.
"This beast is nearly as cantankerous as you are right now," Rupert replied, as he tried to urge it onward. The donkey, perhaps resenting the comparison, brayed and sat down. With a heavy sigh, Rupert came around to join me in the back of the cart and wait for the beast to decide it was ready to move again. "He was very pretty," he said, taking my hand, and I could sense the worry in his voice.
I grumbled my reluctant agreement. It was not, you must understand, that I truly felt like abandoning our mission to rescue Sandy Arbuthnot from whatever predicament he had tumbled into in his wanderings. But neither Rupert nor I were quite what we had once been in our prime, and the inevitable difficulties one encounters as soldiers of fortune were wearing heavily on me. "Let's hope he's still alive," I said, gazing up at the blinding blue sky with its scattering of wispy clouds.
