- I looked up at her. Then, moving deliberately, I opened the manila envelope Vince had given me.
- "What's that?" she asked.
- "Surveillance photos," I said quietly. "Shot through a telephoto lens from a block away."
- She blinked at me. "What?"
- "I hired Vince to take some pictures," I said. "Well, technically Murphy hired him, because I was worried about my phone being bugged. But I'm getting the bill, so really, it was me."
- "Pictures? What pictures?"
- "Of the Way to Chicago from Edinburgh," I said. "Where it opens up into that alley behind the old meatpacking factory. I had Vince take pictures of anyone coming out of it, right after I informed Edinburgh about the meeting on the island."

- Everyone on the Senior Council except Ebenezar and, for some reason, the Gatekeeper, turned to stare slack-jawed at Peabody.
- The Senior Council's secretary sat perfectly still beneath his little lap desk. Then he said, "I take it that you have proof more convincing than a simple visual image? Such things are easily manufactured."
- "In fact," I said, "I do. I had a witness who was close enough to smell you."
- On cue, Mouse stood up and turned toward Peabody.
- His low growl filled the room like a big, gentle drumroll.
- "That's all you have?" Peabody asked. "A photo? And a dog?"
- Mai looked as if someone had hit her between the eyes with a sledgehammer. "That," she said, in a breathless tone, "is a Foo dog." She stared at me. "Where did you get such a thing? And why were you allowed to keep it?"
- "He sort of picked me," I said.
- The Merlin's eyes had brightened. "Mai. The beast's identification is reliable?"
- She stared at me in obvious confusion. "Entirely. There are several other wizards present who could testify to the fact."
- "Yes," rumbled a stocky, bald man with an Asian cast to his features.
- "It's true," said a middle-aged woman, with skin several tones darker than my own, maybe from India or Pakistan.
- "Interesting," the Merlin said, turning toward Peabody. There was something almost sharklike about his sudden focus.
