It had been a very satisfying first day. Emerson inspired our men with the mixture of brilliance, goodwill and curses that is all his own. I accomplished my customary efficient site organisation.

“Excellent work, Peabody,” said Emerson when we finally halted.

Before I could respond, a light attracted my attention. A glowing sphere hung silent and flickering before fading away.

Emerson snorted. “Already! B’gad, Peabody, our reputation precedes us. Still, this year’s inevitable collection of thieves and bas-blaggards has managed a higher standard of supernatural trickery than usual.”

I joined his laughter. It was going to be a good year.
