not turn up.

"Wonder where he came from, beyond the mirror," Luke asked.

_I've no idea,_ I replied. _I think I might be more interested
in the person who sent that thing after him._

Luke nodded.

"What now?" he asked.

_I guess we tell Flora that her Peeping Tom has hit the road,_ I
said. _You're a sorcerer. Any way of fixing her mirrors so he can't pull
that routine again?_

"I think so," Luke said, moving to the nearest window and looking out.
"I'll fix them in just a bit. What about you?"

_I'd like to get back to Merlin._

"I can't send you through by Trumps if he's in the Courts--and I suspect he
is."

_What about Werewindle?_

"I still don't know exactly how it works. I'm going to have to practice
some with it."

_Uh--why are you here?_ I asked.

"Had to talk to Vialle about a number of things," he said, "and she told me
that Corwin might be by soon--and she offered me room and board if I wanted to
wait for him for a few days."

_Well, if you can wear me till he gets here maybe I can persuade him to
take me with him. I've a feeling he'll be seeing Merlin again soon._

"I might, too, but it's hard to say at this point."

_Okay. We can work it out when the time comes._

"What do you think is going on, anyway?"

_Some horrible Wagnerian thing,_ I told him, _full of blood,
thunder, and death for us all._

"Oh, the usual," Luke said.

_Exactly,_ I replied.
