Chapter 13: Two Withdrawals

It was a record for Teddy, and he hated every second of it.
"We could live in the greenhouse," he said finally.
"It leaks."
"We could live in Admiral's basket," Teddy said. "He's got it better than either of us."
Magnus turned his head on the rug.
In the lamplight his beard was full of lint, and one avocado face was stuck to his shoulder.

"Nothing tonight. In the morning we will have breakfast and think."

"The bed is large enough."
