“And you expected that.” “Yes.” He stepped beside me. “You are shaping the entire structure.” “No,” I said. “I am protecting it.” He considered that. “And that is why it works.” I did not respond immediately.

At the work I had been doing for eleven days, believing the mechanism's completion was a settled matter. "Rose needs to know," I said. "I am going to her now," Calder said.
