The Castellan runs to the door in pursuit of Geraden. Eremis picks up Nyle, calling urgently for a physician. Teresa goes to follow Eremis, but is stopped by Master Quillon, who wants her to help him help Geraden. Surprised by the fact that he wants to help Geraden instead of arresting him, she quickly follows Quillon.
After tricking the guards into going to the Laborium, Quillon and Teresa enter the area where the Congery’s mirrors are stored. Quillon then returns the way they came, and answers her questioning looks by saying:
Teresa soon finds Geraden hiding near the mirror he used to bring her to Mordant. She explains what Quillon is doing to help them, and asks Geraden what Nyle said to him. Geraden answers:”Go! Help him! I will gain as much time as I can. I will be believed when I say he did not come here-at least for a minute or two.”
They hear Lebbick shout, and realize they are about to be caught. Geraden uncovers his mirror and starts the translation process. Teresa cries out:“Nothing. Nothing at all. It’s a trick. Something Master Eremis cooked up against me. Teresa, I did not kill my brother.”
Geraden disappears into the mirror. Teresa needs to do nothing to the mirror, though; he never appears in the image. Impossibly, the glass took him once again to a place it didn’t show. Suddenly, Lebbick appears, triumph written all over his face. He grabs her harshly and growls:“You’ll be lost! You’ll never get back.” He didn’t heed her. “As soon as I am translated, my lady,” he said as if she were a stranger, “please shift the focus of the mirror. If I am visible in the image, I will be pursued.”
”Now you’ve done it, woman,” he said almost cheerfully. “You’ve done something so vile that nobody is going to protect you. You’ve helped a murderer escape. Now,” he said through his teeth, “you are mine.”

I get shivers up and down my back when Lebbick says that Terisa is his.
