I asked Miss Davies - one of the new Rifters, from a place like Mr. Stark and Mr. Fitz - to translate something for me. You know how he can be. How Mr. Stark sometimes speaks. And the thing that he has called me - not always, just sometimes; only once or twice - is apparently just the name of some woman who writes terrible books about intolerable women whom everyone dislikes. And even Mr. Fitz seems to see some obvious similarity. And I do not want to be silly, [she cries insistently] I just want to be taken seriously by someone somewhere before I disappear from here too and everyone forgets I was here at all.
