"Is this some kind of joke?  Where is the princess?  I gave money to bring her 
back to the palace and you come empty handed?  Get out of here before I have   
your head removed to feed it to the lions!"                                    
You rush out of there before the guards behead you.  "When, and how did she    
leave --you wonder--  She was standing right here next to me and now no more!" 
