Author's Chapter Notes:
Ambloome shrinks to earthling size, so that Lee-John can take her to see Holland.
Spys, action, intrigue abound.
When recalling how Dimension Tide had found a way to cleave
All the giants from the Vikings, Lee-John said, “We had to grieve.
But it stopped all six of us from utilizing our fourth wonder,
Or we would have used that method, when the present chose to sunder.

If we’d traveled back or forward on one world, but just displaced
In the time stream, then our problem would have quickly been erased.
In the future or the past, Dimension Tide would not be stopping
Us from going to each other’s worlds with more dimension hopping.

Once we’d crossed the rift from giants’ world to earth, we’d simply shift
To the point in time we’d come from, back before we crossed the rift.”
“You’ve out-thought Professor Flyte,” said Ambloome, “Luckily for Braisyde.
He and Jenyfer had feared their future love was by the wayside.”

“Friemann Flyte has not been with us long. He’s learning, bit by bit,”
Lee-John said, “But if you’ll shrink yourself, “I think you’ll better fit
In the place on earth I’d like to take you next for intermission.
It’s called Amsterdam. We’ll teleport to some unseen position.”

They enjoyed the dykes and rivers and politeness of the Dutch.
Then some spy named Frank misplaced his diary, which contained as much
As the names of all the foreign agents and the new location
He’d unearthed. He knew that something big would start its machination.

Sure enough, the foreign infiltrators tracked and captured Frank,
Cuffed his wrists and ankles, tossed him in the water, where he sank.
While he held his breath, he knew he’d soon be drowning. Then the gripping
Of a giantess prevented Frank from any further slipping.

He’d been witnessed there by Ambloome, who had grown to giant size,
Then reached underwater, causing Frank to stop descent and rise.
He was grateful and enlisted her and Lee-John, who requested
To involve themselves, with so much plot and counter-plot invested.

Then the foreign agents faked their next move. Doing that they drew
Frank and Lee-John out with Ambloome, since their first assailant knew
How to stop Ambloome. He handcuffed her, by rapidly surprising
With a rear attack, expecting that he’d stopped her from resizing.

What he didn’t know was Ambloome’s power to grow the things she wore.
So the handcuffs grew as well. At that point, Lee-John quickly saw,
That his sword could move the giant locking mechanism, freeing
His beloved from the cuffs; which sent the foreign agents fleeing.

At her giant size, she couldn’t chase them safely through the dyke.
Frank and Lee-John did the tracking, ‘til they saw their chance to strike.
Once they’d captured all those criminals, they found Frank’s boss was very
Grateful. Ambloome and Lee-John enjoyed a Holland tour by ferry.

She enjoyed the time on his world, as she snuggled in his arms.
Whether large or small, he loved the very essence of her charms.
He’d no jealousy of Lester, who had been his predecessor,
Any more than Zellit’s time with Nonvor bothered the professor.
