canon: the infernal devices | A RE-READ IS IN ORDER
You're aware, I hope, that Jessamine and Magnus aren't the two I'd choose to have as company in a perilous land full of waifs and strays? Your whims and your fancies and your everything else-s are exactly that: yours. Marvelling at a weather phenomenon that occurs nightly until dawn, daily with rain and often without in the fair city of London is not, as you seem to believe, delightful or fascinating. Even, I should add, if it makes me sprout wings in place of arms, or imagine I'm led on the bank of the Thames when I'm not, or even if it perpetrates the most dastardly of deeds and prevents me from stumbling home.
Not even then shall I wish to stray from dirty streets and dirtier water to express my gratitude to Jessamine that of everyone in the world, I am glad that it is with her I have found myself, for there are none better to fight alongside. I hear lying is exceptionally bad for the soul, and I feel as if I should take care of what is left of mine.
—Not to mention that I can imagine myself sprouting wings on the bank of the Thames and stumble home in mist if I so desire in London, so doing any of it elsewhere has not even the slightest appeal.
On the other hand, I'm aware that you'll do as you wish regardless, for cruelty is as natural to you as preoccupation is to Henry.
