	She senses that him looking at her and smiling from underneath his
hood.  She also feels a sense of calm that she would never be harmed by
him.

	"Fair Maiden, is there something wrong with the amount?  Do
you wish more?"  He begins to gesture with his hand.  "It has been
so long since I've heard a voice such as yours.  I indeed meant to
give you that purse."

	He watches her reaction to what he has said.

	"Fair maiden, you seem hungry.  Can I buy you something to eat?
Barmaid, some food over here for the Fair Maiden."
