Somewhere near Harpoon:
There was a loud murmur of voices outside the
mess tent. Clematis went out to see what was
happening. When he came back he was holding a
fine scale cuirass in his hands. Wrapped in the
armor was a huge, glistening brown tail, with
yellow spots.
Clematis said dryly, "The Masked One has heard
about his spy."
Tessios said just as dryly, "And now we know
about Lucan Brasseye."
Sonny narrowed his eyes and took a sip of his
wine. Mello, bewildered in the shadows from where
he had been watching, said, "What that mean, that
tail?" It was Hector the Wise, the Temple
Librarian, who answered him. "The tail means that
Lucan Brasseye is sleeping on the bottom of the
Zola Fel." he said, "It's an old Black Fang
message."
