- Lucienne: I kept a journal for a while. A chronicle of everything that happened in your absence. But slowly, the words began to fade. Sometime after you left, all the books in the library became bound volumes of blank paper. The next day, the whole library was gone. I never found it again.
- Dream: And yet you remained while others fled, the royal librarian of an abandoned kingdom.
- Lucienne: I never felt abandoned. I knew you would return.
- The Corinthian: You've done a very good job of convincing people Ethel Cripps doesn't exist.
- Ethel Cripps: Apparently not good enough.
- The Corinthian: Well, I'm not exactly "people".
- Ethel Cripps: How are you, Johnny? Are you well?
- John Dee: Same as ever. Slightly bored. Highly medicated.
- Abel: I don't mind getting murdered, honestly. If that's what makes Cain happy, then... Hey, what are brothers for, eh, little brother?
- Abel: Oh. I'll be fine. He never normally murders me before lunch. He's not much of a morning person.
