““The Evil Enchanter appeared in a cloud of smoke. He waved his arms to fan away the fumes, and when he quit coughing, he said, "You've come to rescue no one. Now that you're here, you shall marry me." He waved his arms once, and a priest appeared in a cloud of smoke. After everyone quit coughing, he turned to the priest and said, "Marry me!" The priest said, "But I don't know you." "No, no, no!" said the Evil Enchanter. "Marry me to the princess!" "Oh," said the priest. "That's different.””
