 He began to climb down the sewer ladder. Richard said, “Wait,” and caught the sewer cover before it could close. He followed the marquis down. It smelled like drains at the top of the sewer–a dead, soapy, cabbagey smell. He expected it to get worse as he went down, but instead the smell quickly dissipated as he approached the floor of the sewer. Gray water ran, shallow but fast, along the bottom of the brick tunnel.

    The marquis stepped between Richard and Door. “You can’t go back to your old home or your old job or your old life,” he said to Richard, almost gently. “None of those things exist. Up there, _you_ don’t exist.” They had reached a junction: a place where three tunnels came together.

    “You’ll just have to make the best of it down here,” he said to Richard, “in the sewers and the magic and the dark.” And then he smiled, hugely, whitely: a gleaming grin, monumental in its insincerity. “Well–delightful to see you again. Best of luck. If you can survive for the next day or two,” he confided, “you might even make it through a whole month.” And with that he turned and strode off through the sewer, after Door and Hunter.
