Mina Wentworth And the Invisible City
“The giant wheel rolling out of a rich man’s garden, through an alley, and down a well-lit street might as well have been invisible. Mina was not surprised. Everything in this city might as well have been invisible. Everyone was afraid that, eventually, something they said might come back and harm them—especially if it were about something they didn’t understand to begin with.But as she and Newberry walked the neighborhood, and not one claimed to have seen it, Mina began to wonder whether there had been nothing to see. Perhaps the wheel had rolled to a nearby home or into the back of a lorry. If someone had opened the gate for the wheel, it was possible that someone had also been waiting to help it quickly escape.Wherever the wheel had gone, they were not making any progress finding it near Portman Square. She’d return in the morning with Newberry and knock on more doors, make another round of the streets.The corpse collectors arrived to take the viscount back to headquarters. Mina ove...rsaw the loading of the canvas-wrapped body into the wagon before climbing into Newberry’s police cart.MoreLess
