The Hidden City
“Had, in fact, been finished before breakfast. Although he hadn’t looked it to Jewel’s inexpert eye, he’d also been awake. Her screams usually had that effect. Had the boys not been with her, he would have joined her, because he knew her well enough to know she’d be awake.

But he had a fondness for the stout, mendacious man with the fake beard, and a certain fondness for the money.MoreLess
