"What a show-off", Sir Oscar said, putting his armor down carefully next to the saddle.

Charlie stopped rolling for a moment and glared at Sir Oscar blowing a loud equine raspberry that caused Janet to fall to the ground laughing hysterically.

Janet rolled over in the grass and a small, shiney item fell from her pocket and landed on the moist green grass. It caught Charlies eye and he got up and wandered over to it, snuffling at it in curiosity drawing Sir Oscars attention.

Sir Oscar strode over to where Charlie was snuffling the grass and crouched down.

"Well now, what have we here?" he said, parting the grass to reveal a small, oddly shaped, silvery idol which he picked up and looked at closely.

"Janet?, I think I might have found what our little friend was after" Sir Oscar called out still turning the idol about in his fingers.

"Oh!, Janet exclaimed recognizing the idol in Sir Robin's fingers and patting her now empty pocket, "Uncle Max gave that to me the other day."

"Did he now," said Sir Oscar, "He should have really known better the old scavenger!"

"Why? What is it?" Janet replied looking a little closer at the idol.

"This my dear Janet, is a troll token. And not only that but a very special one that permits the person who possesses it to travel safely and without harassment or fear through troll territory and even into the troll kingdom itself!" said Sir Robin. "Under the treaty with the Troll King they're only given out to the leaders of the different races and tribes so that their messengers and envoys can make it through the wilderness without being beaten or eaten by any wandering troll." "Whoever, or whatever if you please, lost this would be very keen on recovering it." Sir Oscar said, handing the idol back to Janet so she could get a better look at it.

"Wow," Janet carefully held what she hadn't noticed its importance before, "now I have something that is really precious but I'm not sure it should belong to me. I'm not sure what Mama and Uncle wanted me to do. I'm just...just a little girl who couldn't even bake a pie without burning it!"

"You do that on purpose to get out of having to cook I'm sure," Sir Oscar said looking at Janet with a jaundiced eye, "and anyway I'm pretty sure your uncle didn't bother telling your mother about it at all for fear of getting a tongue lashing."

"You're being kind I'm sure Janet," said Sir Oscar, "but if she didn't have the ability to make men regret acting on impulse and actually think about what they were going to do, well then she wouldn't be much of a queen now would she?"

"And she's a much better queen than I am a princess," Janet responded looking not the least bit ashamed of being found outside the castle, alone in the woods, "not that you were going to say anything about that of course."
