'My master,' it croaks in a hideous, glutinous voice, 'requests the pleasure of your company, as he desires to effect a business deal with you, involving the return of your familial signet ring.' It squats on the bank above the channel, grunts, and, amid a stench horrible even in the context of a feces-filled sewer, shits out an iron key.
