He found the iron gate—rustier than it had been; it left red stains on his palm—and pushed it open with a creak that would alert whatever now lived at the end of the alley.

He had to see the frog. Not meet him, perhaps—he made a brief sign against evil—but see him. Above all else, he needed to know: had the man—if he was a man—aged?

[> The Comte seems obsessed with aging; something I hadn't much thought about with our other TTs. I do love him referring to Raymond as "the frog", because that was Claire's first impression too. -- DianaH, Fri, February 04 2022, 6:50:53

[> [> I keep wondering if Claire and the Comte aren’t related. I can’t remember where - it might’ve been this story, which I’m going to reread or listen to, that really made me think that.

I can’t understand wanting to live forever. -- Kathy in PA, Sat, February 05 2022, 5:08:11
