"No--wait!!" Cathra said, breathlessly, as she frantically looked 
about for the gem. "Thee jeem--eez gone!!"
     "It fell down there!! Down that ravine!!" Andrea said, looking out the window. "Oh, no--we'll never find it!"
    "Eez all your fault, you leetle worm!!" Cathra said. "Bruno!! Stop
thee car!!" As the limosine came to a stop, the irate Cathra turned
her anger to Andrea. "Now what we're going to do?? Thees would 
not have happen eef you did not eenterfeered. Now weel both be
beehind bars!!"
     "So what?" Andrea said, ducking Cathra's fist. "It wasn't yours
in the first place. This proves that neither you nor Higgins can guard
the thing. And once I find it, expect a little visit from the local
police."

Again, with the point of their mission completely lost, the enraged pair stubbornly continued the fight....

      "Not only are you a theef, but a traitor, also!!" Cathra grunted,
as she and Karen started to fight yet again.
      "Traitor?!" Andrea asked.
     "You are workeen for the Dooley and Corwin peeple," Cathra
grunted, as she tried to force Andrea to the floor. "Everee one 
knows that they geat most of thee beezness around heere--and 
all beecause of that girl weeth thee beeg glasses. And now you
weesh to join theem." 
     "Even if I did, what business is it of yours?" Andrea asked, 
defiantly, as the taller woman began to out wrestle her.
