    Summary

    There followed a few tedious days of shuttling between this and that boring office, though she did try to make them less boring by wowing everyone there with card tricks. There was a hearing afterwards and this was also a very uninteresting affair, but at the end of the hearing it was decided that she was to become Trucy Gavin and the blond man was to become her guardian.

    "You don't have to call me your father if you don't like," her new guardian told her on the drive to the home they were to share, and there was something about his placid expression that indicated he did not want to be called Daddy, and so she didn't.

    Or, Trucy takes the long way home.

    Summary

    Kristoph, cont'd:
    She was also the murderer, but I won't bore you with the specifics. He ate glass for her. Nobody did anything of the sort when his own innocence was called into question; though I suppose that there was no question as to his guilt. What he did is not the sort of thing that can be covered up so easily.

    Trucy:
    Oh, Mr. Gavin, what a silly thing to say! You can cover anything up.

    Kristoph:
    I found that anecdote quite interesting. Do you think your father would eat glass for you, Trucy?

    Or, a three-man performance.

    Summary

    The Gavins didn’t need to tell Klavier he wasn’t welcome home for Christmas this year. It was understood implicitly, silently, the way things are always understood with them.

    Summary

    Pearl Fey cleans the temple like the lowest devotee. She helps translate foreign records into Khurainese, for she is nearly fluent. She stands beside children and frightened women in the docket, helping Apollo and his newly trained lawyers coax testimony from the anxious and weak. They call her the Golden Pearl for the way her light hair catches in the hot Khurainese sun and Rayfa hates her more each passing day.

    ~~

    Or, Pearl Fey comes to Khura’in.
