| abstract | - Milvia was married very young to a very old and very rich merchant. When he died, she was left with warehouses full of what she called "junk and other old stuff." She took the gold her husband had left her and spent her life traveling the world in search of rare birds, rare stories, cheap thrills, and unique objects of the more magical persuasion. When she decided to stop traveling, she opened her store, stocking it from her late husband's long-abandoned store-rooms and the effluvia of her journeys. When Graham visited her store, she welcomed him in. She then motioned him over to an old oil lamp, a new acquisition in her store, thinking he would be interested in it. Graham was indeed interested in it, and offered to buy it. The little old lady, said it would either cost two treasures, or he could return her pet a magical nightingale which had been stolen by the old hag, Hagatha. Graham had already rescued "precious", so he returned the bird to her. She gives him the brass Oil Lamp in return, and quickly sends Graham out of the shop, and locks the door behind him.
