Pyoung was still drinking sitting in the same place he was when she came in the first time. He stood up a little wobbly at first then blocked her poker swing at him with his wrists and he curled his hands around the one end and took it out of her hands.

The water of the moat was black and silver and gold; silver where the moonlight shimmered on it, gold under the candlelit windows; and while I watched, a gold pool spread around the corner tower as Thomas came out and set the lantern in the doorway. Then Neil came down looking very tall in the black bathing-shorts and stepped from lantern light to moonlight.

"And the alternatives?"
"There aren't any. We're at a dead end. My betters in the police department are not going to like this recommendation one bit. It's expensive, requires lots of manpower, and isn't much better than working a hunch. Maybe we'll get lucky."

Though Zac was unable to learn anything about the second floor, the mystery of the back door was solved, or partly solved, on Thursday when the old men asked him for a hand carrying Christmas decorations from a building out back that they called the umbrella factory.

"Look who's talking - Miss Career."
"I can be perfectly happy without having a man hanging around and telling me what to do, if that's what you mean," Ida said. "You just can't depend on them. Take Jamal, for example - going to Singapore during Hari Raya!"

Mira broke the ensuing silence by saying, "Did you hear? Youngest Aunt said Rudi married a widower with two children."
