I’m very concerned that our society is much more interested in information than wonder, in noise rather than silence.

I still remember the way she walked into my office, which is a good sign, as it only happened this morning.

I looked her up and down; mostly down, I’m pretty tall.

She had a face.

Her lips were saying hello but her eyes were telling a very different story, blinking in morse code about the assassin in the air vent.

She knew she had me right where she wanted me: at my desk, in my office, at 11am, the time we had scheduled for this appointment.

As she leaned in close I couldn’t help noticing the kind of details that would give you an uncomfortable degree of insight into the precise contours of the author’s sexual obsessions. It was awkward.

I promised her I’d do whatever I could, because promising to do whatever I couldn’t sounded dangerously illogical.

She reached over and took a swig from the bottle on my desk in a way that was clearly intended to be alluring and transgressive but honestly just felt a little rude, and besides there could have been absolutely anything in that bottle, window cleaner, who knows. As it happens it was only water — I’m trying to stay hydrated and kick the booze habit I picked up after the untimely death of my partner — but she still knocked it back and grimaced just for show.

This Dane meant trouble. (She was from Denmark).

“Too many words,” said Gideon confidentially. “How about these: One flesh, one end, bitch.”

The Ninth House necromancer flushed nearly black. Gideon tilted her head up and caught her gaze: “Say it, loser.”

“One flesh, one end,” Harrow repeated, fumblingly, and then could say no more.

My mood the last month has been “*sighs dreamily about Gideon the Ninth*”. Please, please, how can I wait eight months until Harrow the Ninth??

Dr. Katherine (Kay) Fowler-Billings was an American naturalist and geologist. She is commonly known for being one of the earliest female geologists. In 1926 she dressed as a man to join a geologic expedition. She mapped >500 square miles of the Laramie Mountains alone in 2 Summers. She fundamentally changed our understanding of the Rockies.

She did not know how to use that gun.
