I'm very sorry to hear that you're ill, Molly. Is there anything you need that I could provide?
With respect to this goblin artefact: as I understand such things, they cannot have it back as long as you (and, thus, the original Prewett owner) have blood descendants to inherit the thing. I should think the goblins would look at your brood and calculate that their chances are slim of repatriating that dagger any time in the next century or two. Under those circumstances, they might well be willing to strike a lucrative bargain if Bill feels able to match their (reputedly quite shrewd) negotiating skills. I can't think of anyone better equipped to negotiate with them than Bill, though perhaps his experience will lead him to conclude that they are simply too slippery to deal with.
