"Well, aren't you just the inquisitive one!" Riz exclaimed.  She turned to face Jaime, and moved in front of her, walking backwards and keeping pace.  "I owned a locket," she said, and make a little heart shape with the thumbs and forefingers of either hand over chest.  "A little heart-locket.  And I lost it in a bet with a fat man who cheats at cards," she explained.  "I made a deal with Esther: I would give her the loan she needed, and she would get my locket back.  She did not follow through.  I really liked that locket, too.  A family heirloom, you might say."<br/><br/>Esther chimed in.  "He gave it to his daughter!  What did you want me to do?  I couldn't get it from him, he didn't have it!"<br/><br/>"Tsk!  That's your problem, wasn't it?  Now it's my problem again, yes, but at least I'm going to break even on this deal after all."
