   **Chapter 1: GARY GAR**
  
  The demoness formed into smoke, and then into an insidiously lovely (if you
  like that type) humanstyle woman. Her face was unutterably fair, her hair
  flowed like honey, her bosom was so full and well-formed that it was probably
  sinful just to look at it, and the rest of her was more so. But there was
  something odd about her apparel.
  
  She eyed the creature sitting in the dry riverbed, who was about as opposite
  from her as it was possible to be.
  
  "My, you're an ugly customer," she remarked.
  
  "Thank you," the thing replied gruffly.
