Summon the Goldsmith


"It wasn't my fault!"

"What?"

"I couldn't help it."

"What have you done now, Merlin?"

"Nothing. Not deliberately."

"Out with it."

"It just happened!"

"You're trying my patience here."

"To be on the safe side, I'd like to apologize."

"Aargh!"

"I polished your royal crown, and it sort of... crumpled."

"You're joking. That crown's solid gold."

"The melting's a total mystery."

"Only you, Merlin. Only you."

"I had the best intentions, wanting to please you."

"Well, is the gold still intact?"

"Yes. But it's a lump that must be reforged."

"Thank goodness! I secretly hated that monstrous thing."

"I know."
