Summary
Holmes gasped. Wordlessly, I followed his gaze.
At first, I thought all that I was seeing was the ethereal natural beauty of the loch. The silver bark of the birch-trees seemed to me to shimmer in the dawn light, and although beautiful, I could not understand why it had captured the attention of Holmes so. But then-
Much in the same way one's eyes become accustomed to the dark, become gradually able to make shapes from the gloom, so too did my eyes begin to comprehend. No, not comprehend- but see nevertheless. Surely it was impossible! And yet-
I could not tear my gaze away; it was magnetic, I was transfixed, and it was only through a lack of movement by my side that I knew that Holmes was similarly struck.

Summary
For a moment- a treacherous, subconscious moment, wholly outside his control- he imagines hands he recognises reaching towards him. The promise implicit: believe, and you shall be cured of your pain. For blind faith and complete obedience, I will make you the perfect subject, healthy and hale and useful.
A woman claims to have visions of a King, and to, through him, heal the sick. Vetinari is neither a king nor healed. This is a problem.

Summary
Oh poor Divine, they say, under little black umbrellas held like bunches of pansies or violets. Did you know, they say, did you hear: like a mirror-image spliced and shattered, like fragments of dreams, like echos, they chatter with empty tongues. Each secretly envies her: poor Divine! Who loved so desperately, so completely, and was abandoned so easily. To be returned to the Earth like a used tissue, soiled, interchangable, discarded: oh, poor Divine, what ecstasy!

Summary
“What?” Downey says again, flicking him lightly between the eyes. Immediately, his previous resolution is undermined, but that’s Downey for you. Abrasive in both senses. “Focus, dog-botherer. You’ve been drinking.”
He knows that. That’s not the problem. The problem is that he’s not drunk enough. Every time he closes his eyes, Keel’s face swims before him, and the bitter stem of a lilac masks the taste of whatever-it-is he’s been drinking. He puts all this to Downey: “Not enough. Not yet.”

Summary
Oh, the guilt is true enough, and the fear of getting caught; his private, pathetic isolation is proof enough. But just as when they were naught but the mischevious schoolboy and his fag, this all pales in comparison to the sheer elation of being with Raffles. It is Raffles who keeps him in this world of fine things and thievery, both materially and spiritually. It is Raffles whom he loves.
