Chapter 20: Pippa's Reckoning
Pippa stood in a ring of lamplight with her bare wrist held against her chest.
She was a small woman, I thought, and she always had been.
"Clem," she said again. "Whatever you want. Tell me what it costs."
Behind me, Emeric did not move or speak.
He had promised not to touch her unless I wanted him to, and he was keeping his word with every muscle he had.
Across the roof, two guards walked Thaddeus Manigault toward the stair door.
He did not struggle.
At the threshold he turned his head and looked for his good girl.
Pippa saw him look.
She turned her back on him, on purpose, and faced me.
That one I will give her, and I will not give her another.
"You want to know what it costs," I said.
"Yes."
"Monday, nine in the morning, the county courthouse on Broad Street."
I watched her mouth go slack.
"You'll walk in with the receipt from the pawn shop that you kept, because you kept it, Pip, you always keep the receipt."
