Never heard of her. And none of your business if I did. So blow, like smoke, or I'll spill you like a baby's cup.

Certainly I will teach you something, if you wish. It always gives me pleasure to help Ahnassi's little schemes. And Ahnassi's friends are my friends, so you'll get my best rates.

So Ahnassi has sent you to me, because she thinks you might be eager to learn some of the things I know. That is so like Ahnassi, thinking of others.

For a start, maybe you'll find this book interesting.
