    Summary

    There was a mark on the shoulder of her robe where someone had bitten the epaulet clean off; it explained to distasteful precision the sequins he’d extracted from his teeth in the last hours.

    Summary

    “The woman is in a peony-coloured slip. She is taking the pins out of her hair. She is JOY, an acidic thing, citric and citrine. Sour frowns, tangerine pulp hair, liable to irritate in excessive quantities.”

    In advance of Dios Apate Major, the Saint of Patience scripts a seduction.

    Summary

    They find each other in moments of weakness.

    Mercy has to go to one of Ulysses 'sexy parties' and she doesn’t want to be here. It was almost nice when Cristabel was by her side, as she had promised, but she has wandered off somewhere and now it is torture. And then there is Augustine and this is such perfect an excuse that she wants to laugh

    They almost die, for the first time in their immortal lives. Dying, even now, is frightening. They lick each others wounds in a way that is too literal for comfort and afterwards they are both a bit ashamed. But the shame is masking the terror of dying, dying uselessly after all this time, dying for what, for whom, with what justification of having lived at all.
