Now Lee-John and Ambloome (with her giant amulet) stayed in her world, occupied,
While Braisyde and Jenyfer spent time on earth; and then using his amulet, tried
To get to the giant world. Somehow their amulet (normal sized) wasn’t responding.
So Braisyde soon opened it up with some tweezers, and looked at some loose copper bonding.

He couldn’t repair it, but went to Professor Flyte (Viking, aged 40), to show
The problem. Then Friemann Flyte said he would do what he could to make their device go.
Not only did Friemann Fltye get that one working, but also the handsome professor
Reverse engineered the technology, making another, with him its possessor.

Flyte went to the palace of giants himself, and concealed himself deep in some plants,
Watched Nonvor have lunch in the courtyard, until he was found, and subjected to rants:
“Just what do you think that you’re doing, small man? You’ve upset my lunch, secretly spying.
You should have just let me get on with my meal. You could see that your presence was trying.”

He answered, “I came to supply you with amulets I can make, so you’ll have more,
For Ambloome and Jenyfer, Braisyde and Lee-John and you; but I never foresaw
That you would be angry. I’ll go, if you like, and I’m sorry that I have been spoiling
Your lunch.” Then as Nonvor approached with her hand, Friemann Flyte found his body recoiling.

“I jumped to conclusions,” Queen Nonvor explained, and invited the genius to come
For a party that night in the palace. She emptied the juice from a 2 gallon drum
Down into some punchbowls, and then lost her wedding ring, when it went suddenly slipping
From finger to punchbowl, and sank to the bottom. So Friemann went gallantly dipping.

While holding his breath, he swam right to the bottom and soon found the large diamond ring,
She’d continued to wear, even while dating Zellit, as she had been wife of the king.
The Queen was so grateful, and said she was sorry for being unpleasant at midday.
He said, “It’s alright. You were merely surprised. I’d forgotten whatever you did say.”

He went home with his amulet, changing his clothes, and came back, when the party commenced.
He stayed in the garden, too shy of the giants; and meanwhile the Queen was incensed.
She noticed a maiden the same age as Zellit, who kept making frequent advances,
To which he’d responded with small talk at first, and then offered the maiden two dances.

The Queen went outside, and was followed by one of the soldiers, who’d seen her react.
The soldier made passes at Nonvor, who struggled, and felt she was being attacked.
She warned him that he’d have to leave, if he mauled her. The soldier remained non-compliant.
Concerned for her welfare, the well-hidden Friemann took stock of the menacing giant.

He lunged with his Viking sword, straight at the soldier, retracting as soon as he’d pierce
His ankle. He hid in the garden again. Yet the moment was making him fierce.
The soldier went screaming for help, unaware of what really had just perforated
His ankle. The Queen spotted Friemann and thanked him, and then sought the young man she’d dated.
