The Wishstone And The Wonderworkers - Plot & Excerpts
What would you have done if you had found yourself sitting there in Uckermark’s corpse shop with a mad demon on the loose in Injiltaprajura? To the corpse master himself, the next move was crystal clear.‘I vote that we get drunk,’ said Uckermark.But Log Jaris demured.‘Friend Uckermark,’ he said, ‘the game is not yet played out. We’re not dead yet. We can yet escape - at least with our lives. I vote we flee to the Ngati Moana. Tonight. Between us we own enough in gold and silver to bribe them to give us passage.’‘Impossible!’ said Guest Gulkan. ‘I came for the wishstone. I’m not leaving without it!’‘Besides,’ said Chegory, ‘what about, um, Olivia, okay? She’s still with the demon! So’s Ingalawa - and the Empress! We can’t just, well, run off and leave them, can we? Some of them, maybe, okay, but what about Justina?’ ‘What about Justina?’ said Uckermark. ‘She’s a big girl. She can look after herself.’‘But Olivia, then!’ said Chegory.‘You’re the one who loves her,’ said Uckermark.
