bserve that it even bears the great seal of the noble house, Piz Buin.
is it glass?" asked the marquessa, and held the box with her fingers.
"ney" said the merchant. "it is a rare gossimer substance. secreated from the gossimer periwinkle. look now at the three small indents and the three cathments on the lid. push those into the indent and it holds well. and it is so light and resilient. and.. watch.."
said the man and dropped the transparent box on the marble floor.
"it shatters not!" exclaimed the courtier.
"true. the gossimer is light and has some flexibility. it does not shatter if dropped. think how your guests shall be amazed as you pack fruit into these, and present them upon the table. why, it is all that the great ladies in florence talk of" he concluded.
"how much for the boxes then?"

"oh, i shall sell you not obe, not two but such gossimer boxes, suited perfectly for grapes and strawberries, apricots and plums. for seven gold crowns for THREE dozens!"
"i shall not argue. Mortimer!" she said ordering the courtier to write the item.
the boxes were lovingly presented to the marquissa in an easy to cary stack. Mortimer took them reverentely.
"i thank thee" said the merchant.
"what have you got?"
"oh...i have much more merchandize, of far off lands. observe, exellency, yonder blanket. it is thin as parchment, is it not?, but look carefully now.." he said and took up the smooth , leathery cloth. from it, he pulled out a small translucent part. a part in it was easy to remove, "as you uncork a wineskin" he reported proudly. then with much air he blew into the mouth, his cheeks puffing. soon, ridhes formed on the blanket , which grew and extended in straight lines. the blanket grew in thickness until it was bloated, which then the merchant replaced the cork, and held up the object. "this fine wonder is a rare bed, made from the strong skin of Sumerian dragons, which slithers upon the sands of that distant land... it holds its form, yet is soft and yeilding. you may fill it..well your servant may..fill it with breath, and you could lie upon it. resting thus in the forest shade after a hunt , or upon the pleasure barge. it can also float upon the water, and bare the weight of even a grown man, dressed in armor!"
"a wonder" exclaimed the lady.
"truly...your majesty. i am proud to offer you two of these, one decorated with the image of an orange fish with fine white lines, as a clown is dressed, yet the fish is rounded in the shape and pleasently smiling, from the depths under the waves. i can also provide you with another, one which bears the stark likeness of a beautiful young girl " explained the merchant, and produced a second such blanket, unfilled with air, which bore the image of a richly dressed princess, blond of hair "
"i see the blanket is decorated with snow flakes . ..interesting " said the marquesa. " yes, your highness. it is of great craftsmenship. and an inviting artistry, and , know that it shall not bare stains nor be easily sullied otherwise"
"i shall take both, how much will you ask?"
"that shall be costly, yet not without reason, considering the outstanding craftsmenship and distance travelled to obtain such a miracle. "
"truly"
"it shall be twenty gold pieces for the one, but only five and thirty for the two. "
"that is rather costly"
"it is, and no lie.. excellency. but not without reason, i am sure you'll agree".
"i'll take only one, the one with the fish, i think. "
"perhaps you'll think of both, if i shall offer further enticment?"
"what have you in mind?"
"oh, your majesty...this ..is a special treatment."
"what have you?"
"oh, observe please this softly carved article, carved from the rare burr of the alabaster tree of Zanzibar. feel how it bears the pressure of my hand. why, the slight application of pressure, will cause ...well, here is the nozzle...as the nozzle generously yeilds the rich lotion"
"oh? a lotion"
"yes, highness...this lotion is specially important through great voyage from distant islands. observe that it even bears the great seal of the noble house, Piz Buin. "
"is that not in the swiss lands?" interrupted the courtier"
"no, my friend. it is not. this one is from tne faraway island of of piz buin, upon the lands near Persia. the lotion, so applied is used for the conservation of the pale skin of royals in those lands, from the reddening of skin in the sun. it has come here through ship and camel, and ship again. crossing the lands of turks and sarasans, pirates and barbarians. and i shall give you this tube if you buy the two air matresses...i mean blankets..."
"for five and thirty gold?"
"em...it is a great buy...but...well...i shall not deny you..your highness with these goids. for thirty-five gold.."
"is there more?" asked the marquesa.
"have no doubt , excellency"
"what more?"
it was then, when the merchant was about to produce the Zoon, that the courtier, calculating the fortunes that were already vouchsafed, interrupted the peoceedings. and reminded the lady, that they must not tarry longer in the heat, as that the sun was not to her advantage.
