‘Oh, my dear foolish Marquis. What? Silent at last?’ said Kalliovski, closing the door on the waxwork head. And he thought he saw one unorchestrated tear roll down the Marquis’s puffy cheeks.

He rang the bell and Milkeye entered.

‘Where is the keymaker?’

‘Citizen Quint is in the workroom, master.’

‘Then tonight it will begin. Send Anselm Loup to me.’

How many day or weeks Anselm had been in Kalliovski’s wondrous domain he couldn’t rightly say, nor did he much care, for as long as he was never asked to leave, he didn’t mind. Every day he had been called to the long gallery to sit before his new master. And every day he found himself coming out of a trance and feeling different, as if the furniture of his mind had been shifted. His feelings, whatever they had been, for his adoptive father, the butcher Loup, were now replaced by a passionate devotion to Count Kalliovski.
