The Magician is horrified to find a noble Sailor of The King's Navy held this way.
"I am so ashamed of myself," says The Sailor.
"You are held under a spell of greed and vanity," says The Magician. "It is a common affliction, very hard to overcome, usually becomes worse over time. Luckily, I can still reverse the spell, and we can leave."
"Can I take the pearls with me?"
"You are still under the spell, perhaps," The Magician warns.
"What about the matching earrings?"
"OK," says The Magician, "this will take some stronger magic."
