What the Compass Does
Three days after the first Thursday meeting, Joshua went back to the library.
The Night Before the Arrest
The knight's name was Gaufred de Montbrun, and he had known for eleven days that he was going to be arrested.
The Four
There were three of them in the pew, and they looked at him the way people look at someone they have been expecting but are not entirely sure about.

He left Alton at five-thirty, which gave him more time than he needed and which was, he recognized, not an accident.
The Kept House
The basement smelled like the inside of a church - not incense exactly, but something older than incense.
