And you'd send me to a place that's not New Crobuzon but is a twisted version of it. A twisted version of a twisted place...Its contradictions will tense it up and it will break when it can't unwind.
Yes, I think I can work there, whether they know Jack or not. Jack's not a man, but a possibility, a dream that they all share. I'll stretch myself out, and like a dirigible, i'll be buoyed by their hopes. I'll remake myself again to adapt there and do what I do best. Better than the last place I was, at least. I will not miss Reggio Calabria, save for Dizzy. Give the sweet child my warmest regards.
But bring me quickly. There's a line between planning and hickory-dickoring because you're nervous, and you're inching your trembling toesies over it.
