@0    = ~What... what have you *done*?!~
@1    = ~What... what have you *done*?! My child!~
@2    = ~Oh, another one. He is *upstairs*, you should know this by now. Tell him he has to make the tea himself. I am not his slave.~
@3    = ~I beg your pardon, my lady?~
@4    = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

I met a strange couple in one of the houses in Beregost. Apparently, the husband and wife don't talk to each other any more. Maybe I should investigate this further.~
@5    = ~Sorry to have disturbed you. I'll be leaving, now.~
@6    = ~We just talked to your husband and he...~
@7    = ~Now, what is this all about? You *are* a strange couple!~
@8    = ~We hope the necklace is to your taste, my friendly helper.~
@9    = ~Indeed, it was Annie who had the necklace! My poor husband! *guilty look* Thank you very much for your help, dear stranger! You did a very good deed by us.~
@10   = ~I really want to see you people happy. Do you have an honest buyer for your necklace?~
@11   = ~It was a pleasure. Good day.~
@12   = ~Yes. It's a wonder how childishly some adults behave.~
@13   = ~I have the money now. Are you still interested?~
@14   = ~*sob* Please go now...~
@15   = ~What do you want now?~
@16   = ~Are you sure you are not in need of some money?~
@17   = ~Your husband told us the missing necklace belongs to you.~
@18   = ~Nothing. Goodbye.~
@19   = ~I *told* you where you can find him!~
@20   = ~You seem to be missing something. Can we help you in any way?~
@21   = ~Your daughter mentioned you are missing a necklace.~
@22   = ~Nothing. Goodbye.~
@23   = ~Thank you very very much. We... are very shy people, and maybe a bit too proud. *shy smile* You are a very generous and friendly person. We are indeed in your debt.~
@24   = ~*You give the 500 gp to Mr. Dudley.*~
@25   = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

I bought the necklace from the Dudley family for the promised 500 gp. Their money problem should be solved now.~
@26   = ~*You put 550 gp directly into Mr. Dudley's money bag, trying to be sure that he doesn't notice the extra gold.* I thank *you*, good people.~
@27   = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

I bought the necklace from the Dudley family. Instead of giving only the promised 500 gp, I succeeded in "smuggling" another 50 gp into Mr. Dudley's money bag. Hope the family is doing well now.~
@28   = ~*You put 600 gp directly into Mr. Dudley's money bag, trying to be sure that he doesn't notice the extra gold.* I wish you all well.~
@29   = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

I bought the necklace from the Dudley family. Instead of giving only the promised 500 gp, I succeeded in "smuggling" another 100 gp into Mr. Dudley's money bag. Hope the family is doing well now.~
@30   = ~You heard me perfectly. At least have the decency to wipe your shoes before going upstairs.~
@31   = ~I... Oh, never mind.~
@32   = ~Whatever you say. At least have the decency to wipe your shoes before going upstairs.~
@33   = ~I won't listen any further! I don't know why he keeps sending his friends. He's making the whole street think *I* have it. But *he's* hiding it! This is ridiculous. Leave me in peace.~
@34   = ~Are you missing something?~
@35   = ~I won't say anything further. Go back to him and leave me in peace.~
@36   = ~Did she tell you that? *sigh* Poor girl. Her father doesn't think of what he is doing to her. He doesn't think of what he is doing to *us*, by hiding that pearl necklace!~
@37   = ~Can I help you in any way?~
@38   = ~Well, too bad. I must be going.~
@39   = ~No, I don't think so. I am sorry, I don't mean to offend you, but even our friends couldn't talk any sense into him... I do apologize for my unfriendly behavior. I imagined that you were his friends when you came in the first time. I thank you for your offer of help, but please leave us alone now.~
@40   = ~If it's only money that you miss, maybe I could give you some?~
@41   = ~As you wish. Goodbye.~
@42   = ~Ah... no, no, thank you. We have enough money. At least we *would* have... Never mind. It is not your problem.~
@43   = ~Did he? Well, at least he seems to remember... Although that doesn't help, if he doesn't *give* it to me!~
@44   = ~But he said that he has no reason to hide it... And that you agreed on selling it too, but then you changed your mind.~
@45   = ~Too bad. I must be going.~
@46   = ~*I* changed my mind? *I* changed my mind? One evening we discussed the necessity of selling my... *sob* my grandmother's necklace, and the next morning he hid it! We will lose the house because we can't pay our last debt on it. I really don't blame him that he's no longer capable of earning as much as he did. I haven't talked to that stubborn husband of mine for several days now. I... I can't take this any longer... *sob* Please, leave me in peace...~
@47   = ~I have the impression we are running in circles here. There must be a different solution to this.~
@48   = ~Oh come on please, no crying... Argh, I had better go now!~
@49   = ~Poor Annie... What will become of her... *sob*~
@50   = ~What... what have you *done*?! Annie!~
@51   = ~What are you doing here? Go down and remind her of our agreement. It's *mine* here and *hers* downstairs. And tell her I want some tea! Now, off you go!~
@52   = ~I beg your pardon, my lord?~
@53   = ~All right, I'm gone.~
@54   = ~We just talked to your wife and she said...~
@55   = ~Wait! Wait! You... *pant* you gave us too much money, my friendly helper. It was 500 *pant* 500 gp we agreed on!~
@56   = ~Ah, you again! It's nice to see a friendly face. Did your friend like the necklace?~
@57   = ~Who would have thought it was Annie who took the necklace!~
@58   = ~Your wife is crying downstairs... Are you sure you don't want to just accept some money and let it be over?~
@59   = ~Are you sure you don't want any money?~
@60   = ~From talking to your wife I got the impression that she thinks that *you* are hiding the necklace!~
@61   = ~Think about asking for the tea!~
@62   = ~You seem to be missing something?~
@63   = ~Do you have ear problems? Now go down to her. There *is* enough space on the ground floor.~
@64   = ~I... all right, goodbye.~
@65   = ~Hmph. You would think there *is* enough space on the ground floor.~
@66   = ~Oh, don't try that one on me. We know all perfectly well that *she* is hiding it! Tell her it's getting her nowhere. We have to sell it!~
@67   = ~You are missing something?~
@68   = ~Ha! Guess the whole street knows it already. Is it shameful to sell possessions because you don't have enough money? It's not my fault the horse stepped on my foot. Now, please! I want to rest a bit. Goodbye.~
@69   = ~Could we help you in any way?~
@70   = ~Of course. Goodbye.~
@71   = ~Yes. Go down to her and tell her to stop hiding it! Goodbye.~
@72   = ~Missing? Yes, it's indeed missing! My dear wife is hiding the last possession that would save us from losing the house... Ye gods, I'm talking to a complete stranger about my money problems! Better if you leave now. Goodbye!~
@73   = ~That's ridiculous! Why should I do that? It is actually hers, to be precise, old family jewelry... *sigh* It's not easy for a man to admit that he is not capable of providing for his family any longer. She agreed to sell the pearls. Really brave woman she is, my Margareth! But *sigh* she somehow changed her mind, and now it's gone. Haven't talked to her for over a week now! This situation is unbearable. Please, leave an old man with his sorrow. Good day to you.~
@74   = ~If it's only money you are missing, maybe I could give you some?~
@75   = ~Goodbye.~
@76   = ~Ah? Oh, thank you for that... er, kind offer. But she would never accept that, my Margareth... No, she wouldn't.~
@77   = ~*sigh* It's not that easy, see? It isn't right that we take money from strangers because we can't reach an agreement. It sounds very tempting, but it's not that easy. *sigh*~
@78   = ~There were 100 gp too much in my bag after you left... Is that a grin on your face there? You are very friendly and generous indeed, but we can't accept a donation of so much money.~
@79   = ~It's no donation. I offered you 600 gp, because that is exactly the sum I think this necklace is worth. I would not argue with you in front of your wife, but there is no way I will take back these 100 gp, as they belong to you, good man.~
@80   = ~Are you sure? See, you really need that money, and I have still enough for my own purposes.~
@81   = ~*sigh* Well, then give it back to me.~
@82   = ~There were 50 gp too much in my bag after you left... Is that a grin on your face there? You are very friendly and generous indeed, but we can't accept a donation of so much money.~
@83   = ~It's no donation. I offered you 600 gp, because that is exactly the sum I think this necklace is worth. Well, your counter-offer was 500, so we met in the middle. I would not argue with you in front of your wife, but there is no way I will take back these 50 gp, as they belong to you, good man.~
@84   = ~We are in your debt for sure, friendly stranger. May the gods be with you.~
@85   = ~There is no question about it. We are in your debt for sure, friendly stranger. Take that money back, and may the gods be with you.~
@86   = ~Ah, nah, you don't... I mean... Do you really...?~
@87   = ~You see, that's not tears in my old eyes. I guess I got some sand in them, running so fast to catch up with you. You are something special, young one, I tell you. But what you said made actually sense... I hope I can remember that until I return home, so I can tell Margareth... Or maybe I won't tell her, keeping it a nice surprise...~
@88   = ~We are in your debt, friendly stranger. I will keep the money then... May the gods be with you!~
@89   = ~Well, we will go to someone we know in private... It's always not so good to do money business with people you know, but it's...~
@90   = ~Good gracious, do you want to tell every detail of our money misery?~
@91   = ~We are very grateful for what you did for us, but we need some time to discuss the proceedings further... I do apologize, but it was a very anxious time we had.~
@92   = ~I am sorry to interfere so much with your private problems, but I actually am looking for a nice pearl necklace for a, er... friend. Would you sell the necklace to me for... let's say 600 gp?~
@93   = ~Well, I surely hope everything will be alright. Good day to you.~
@94   = ~Yeah, sure. Bye.~
@95   = ~600 gp?! That is... that is much more than we would get from the other seller.~
@96   = ~Thank you very much, this is a very honorable offer. Yet we do not want to trouble you that much. We...~
@97   = ~Margareth, what are you saying? Didn't you hear what was said? Why shouldn't we sell it now? We couldn't buy it back from Edgar anyhow.~
@98   = ~Honey, please. I am not so stupid as to think...~
@99   = ~Margareth, come aside for a short moment.~
@100  = ~*whisperwhisper* ...money directly and... *mumblemumble* ...you never know whether Edgar... *whisperwhisper*...~
@101  = ~Yes, but *whisperwhisper*...~
@102  = ~Margareth, please *whisperwhisper*... Annie, hm?~
@103  = ~Well *whisperwhisper* *sob* You are so right, my dear. But only *whisperwhisper*...~
@104  = ~You are the wisest of all, my lovely wife. That is exactly how we will do it.~
@105  = ~All right, amicable helper. We finally decided to accept your offer, but not for the 600 you offered. Five hundred, it will be. This is still a very generous trade for us, and we are very well aware of the fact that you know that... *ahem*.~
@106  = ~What a comfort. And I thought I might have to go on searching forever for a pearl necklace!~
@107  = ~If you are decided, I won't argue with you.~
@108  = ~Yeah, yeah, just let's get over with this deal.~
@109  = ~Ah, it seems I don't have enough money right now. I will come back later!~
@110  = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

I promised the Dudleys in Beregost to buy their pearl necklace for 500 gp.~
@111  = ~Mommy!~
@112  = ~Daddy!~
@113  = ~Who are you? You are scary!~
@114  = ~Do you still have the necklace? Can I have a look?~
@115  = ~Mom isn't as angry as I thought! Only bad thing is that the necklace will be sold now...~
@116  = ~I didn't mean to hurt anyone!~
@117  = ~Oh, poor child. Hush, everything will be all right. Hiding the necklace doesn't help, Annie. Go inside and give it back. Some things have to be done, even if it hurts.~
@118  = ~Are you *still* crying?~
@119  = ~You talked again to my parents, yes?~
@120  = ~I did, indeed. Are you sure you know nothing about this missing necklace, Annie?~
@121  = ~I don't want to talk to you, girl.~
@122  = ~Annie, from what your mom said, I have the strong impression "someone" took the necklace from its place that particular night... Don't you think it's time to give it back to your mom?~
@123  = ~*sigh* I wish Mom and Dad would stop arguing!~
@124  = ~You've been in our house! Did you talk to my parents?~
@125  = ~I indeed did "talk" to your parents... Seems they are missing something?~
@126  = ~And you are...?~
@127  = ~I talked to your mother... Seems your parents don't get along with each other very well recently?~
@128  = ~I talked to your father... Seems your parents don't get along with each other very well recently?~
@129  = ~Me? I'm... I'm Annie, why do you ask?~
@130  = ~No, they don't... *sigh* I wish Mom and Dad would stop arguing!~
@131  = ~Ye-es... Did they tell you that? What did they say?~
@132  = ~They didn't tell me, to be honest. I figured it out from what they said. Do you know anything about it?~
@133  = ~Yes, they told me. Tell me what you know!~
@134  = ~Doesn't matter. I don't want to talk to you, girl.~
@135  = ~Mom said we need some money to pay for the house... But we lost the necklace that could be sold.~
@136  = ~Ah, so it's a *necklace*! Well, I have the impression that both your mom and dad think the other one is hiding it... Do you have an idea where it could be?~
@137  = ~Me? No... no, why should I?~
@138  = ~It doesn't matter, I guess.~
@139  = ~I don't believe you! They never tell anybody!~
@140  = ~Right, all right. They didn't tell me. I figured it out from what they said. Do you know anything about it?~
@141  = ~But I.. I.. *sob* I don't *want* the necklace to be sold! It's the last piece we have from Grandma and I.. I.. I thought they would find another way and I *sob* I took it when they where sleeping and now they are so angry and everything is so bad... *sob*~
@142  = ~Oh *dear* me! Another crying female! I can't stand this!~
@143  = ~May.. *sob* Maybe you are right. Oh, I hope mom won't be too angry!~
@144  = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

The problem is solved. The daughter took the necklace so that it can't be sold... She will return it now.~
@145   = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

Mr. Dudley brought back the extra gold... The Dudleys are an honest and proud people. Well, their money problem should be solved anyhow.~
@146   = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

Mr. Dudley wanted to bring back the extra gold... The Dudleys are an honest and proud people. I could talk him into accepting it, though. Their money problem should be solved now.~

@147   = ~You! Aren't you... You took the necklace from our daughter, didn't you! Of course we can't prove anything, but I believe my daughter. You are evil... We had to give up the house, because we couldn't pay the debt. We will go far away, to make a new start. Shame on you!~
@148   = ~Do you still have the necklace? You will give it to Mommy, right?~
@149   = ~I changed my mind. Better you take the necklace to your mom. And make it quick!~
@150   = ~Give the necklace to me, child. I will... erm, keep it safe until your parents calm down.~
@151   = ~I should give you Grandma's necklace?~
@152   = ~No, better not.~
@153   = ~Why, yes, sure. Just imagine how upset your mother will be when she finds out. Better you don't have it with you then!~
@154   = ~If... if you think so. But you will give it to Mommy, yes?~
@155   = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

I solved the problem, in a way.~
@156   = ~You are a scoundrel!~
@157   = ~You took the necklace! You are evil!~
@158   = ~Why are you telling me that?~
@159   = ~Here you are... your necklace. It was Annie who took it.~
@160   = ~Family Quarrel in Beregost

The problem is solved. The daughter took the necklace so that it can't be sold... I gave it back to them.~
@161   = ~Really! And you are giving it to us. I have no idea how you made Annie give it to you, but we are in your debt for your honesty!~
@162   = ~My necklace! And... Annie, you say? Oh, how did you find out? Thank you so much for your help. You have no idea how much your honesty is helping us!~
@163   = ~Here, Annie, take the necklace back. It belongs to you, not me. You can keep it, as a present!~
@164   = ~You... you are giving me Grandma's necklace? Ooh, that is wonderful! I have to tell all my friends. Thank you so much!~
@165   = ~Hello! I haven't shown the necklace to my parents yet... Mom was so strange about it. Maybe I'll show it to Dad, tomorrow.~
