What fun. When Nemo returns, he is very proud of you. "You followed directions perfectly," he says. You are very proud of yourself. You obeyed an arbitrary order given by a power-mad despot-- the key to a healthy relationship. You spend the rest of your life being pampered by Nemo, who brings you strings of pearls, interesting shells, and all manner of oceanic treasures, until one day he dies, you sell his pipe organ, and you move to Mystic Seaport, where you make a tidy living by discussing Moby Dick with tourists until they pay you to stop. THE END
