"I shall," says Ines. At that point, she tries to flex whatever corner of her spirit it requires to leave the mirror, visualising the green woman as she does so.

With the speed of thought Ines emerges from the mirror, which loses it green color and returns to its normal condition.

Re: Chapter the Ninth: Paris
Ines takes a few very deep breaths, as the tension drains out of her. To Miss Davenport, she says, "His name was Dubh. He was a priest, he said, long before Christ. He worshipped at the stones, until his people abandoned those ways. He came to hate them and swore revenge after his death." Then she adds, "There were so many in there. I could not count them. As if the mirror were a Hell all its own."

Re: Chapter the Ninth: Paris
Perhaps because it is well known amongst supernaturalists that names possess great power, this information seems to restore Miss Davenport's spirits.
This strange encounter having taken some time, the adventurers are fatigued and enjoy a night of undisturbed sleep.
There is another day to be spent as desired until the clothing will be ready.

"With regard to the mirror it may be prudent to seek a means of destroying it to prevent such malignant spirits from ever finding a path back to this world. I cannot think of any hands in which it might be deemed truly safe to leave. Though this may require further research into the nature of this unusual object rather than simply melting it down. But the chemical properties of substances are your area of knowledge, doctor." Lila peruses her reference book on demonology for any information on the handling of such objects.

Re: Chapter the Ninth: Paris
"If you will pardon the simple and naive observations of a layman," Mister Witherly remarks, "perhaps it would be helpful to perform further experiments involving colored light. The extraordinary excursion of Ines -- if it not be only a shared dream ! -- appears to indicate that entering the mirror under the influence of such does not harm the one who journeys therein."Mr. Handy wrote:

Lila shares what she has learned with the others.

"Mr. Rachman might have been able to generate such a light," says Henry. "Perhaps given time I could come up with a device that would amplify and focus light, making it purer."

"An intriguing idea, sir," Mister Witherly remarks. "Do you have any notion how such an effect might be achieved?"

With a slight blush, she answers modestly "This is all too strange for me, I'm afraid. But are not angels said to be made of the pure light of Heaven? Perhaps if I were to pray for a miracle . . ."Wruter wrote:

"My own venture succeeded because I was guided by all of you," says Ines. "I chose questions I could imagine you asking, each in turn. Though I confess I do not quite see a way to apply that principle to this question." She looks at the diagram again, before asking, "Am I correct in thinking that words to the red part of the circle are upside down when compared to the others?"

Re: Chapter the Ninth: Paris
It is evident that this is an accurate observation; but what its significance might be is unclear.
Re: Chapter the Ninth: Paris
"I imagine I'd need to use a collection of mirrors and lenses to direct and amplify the light," says Henry. "Shining it through a diamond could be helpful. I'd need to experiment, and that won't be done overnight, but it is something to bear in mind for the future."

Re: Chapter the Ninth: Paris
The remainder of the day is spent in discussion of these interesting matters, and the adventurers enjoy a much-deserved peaceful night of rest. The tailor completes his work as promised, and the clothes are ready. The party is free to plan how they will make their venture to the cathedral.
The next several evenings promise to be fairly comfortable for this time of year, with a partial moon providing enough light through the clouds to allow one to walk without bumping into large objects, but some form of artificial illumination will be required to do anything more than that.

"We may want to split up into separate groups," suggests Henry. "That would be less suspicious than all of us going together. We'll need sources of light, torches or lanterns. My Illuminator is not yet complete."
