I don't know what makes me happier, Ben waving his hands above his head trying to describe Wolfe's aura (called it!) or Wolfe looking touched then puzzled but still pleased.
Also, I bet that's Lei Fong and I feel really foolish for not thinking of her sooner.
Lei Fong was my first thought on seeing a prisoner call Sidney's name.
Definitely someone who knows Sidney and who would probably be in prison. Relatively few people we know of fit both those criteria.
the skin color of that hand doesn't seem to match Lei Fong.
I know it makes me unreasonably happy when everyone who knows anything about Wolfe's effect on people keep relying on him, and he's all, "? You need help? I can help? Sure?"
What's happening?[https://www.youtube.com/wat...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apv9Kgkf-z8 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apv9Kgkf-z8")
(Don't ask me, it's four in the morning and I've got a toothache. :P )
Haven't they hanged her yet?
Hang a woman who can make elaborate and deadly little clockwork baubles? That seems... wasteful.
They probably will sooner or later...so will Sid just leave her there even though it's the law? Kinda doubting it.
I agree. They need more hands than they already have to help with the Deadlies.
Verity might have a problem with letting Lei out given how things went the last time she worked with Lei.
They're holding her for a prisoner exchange to Mechanicsburg..,
...as soon as they can find the time...
Seems like a good idea. She'll fit in very well back home. Who are we going to exchange her for though?
How about Burgermeister Zuken? We don't need him any more...
Dunno, a useful idiot always comes in handy. I was wondering if we could palm Othar off on them. I mean, in this Utopian society, heroes are always welcome, right?
Dun't be too sure... Tryggvassen would be tasty schnack fer der Pride beastie, ya?
We couldn't get THAT lucky...
But it's worth a try.
Ugh, I haven't read this since august and it's just bloody typical that I catch up and it stops at a cloffhanger
I know it's a typo but please don't correct it, because cloffhanger might be the greatest word I have ever heard. Who's up for a round of Fictionary? I'll go first: Cloffhanger, a place where Londoners hang their shirts.
I feel like there is a history somewhere under what appears to be a dialect joke here.
Was just about to edit that, but you are right, that's hilarious
3) Get a good lawyer.

4) Bribe the judge and/or the jury.
5) Don't get caught (alive)
Hmmm...the alternative is getting caught dead, which would present a whole new set of problems. This is worthy of pondering.
I'm guessing Sid's planning to imbue the violin.
Music to soothe the savage... crowd, eh?
I'm sure Macavity can get enough muscle together.
Oh man, I am adoring this chapter!
I also recently read Darken, and now I can't decide which is better! XD I'll be reading Widdershins, and decide that it is The Best Thing Ever, but as soon as I go back to Darken it's my new favourite again :D
I think I'll just have to buy everything Kates ever written, it's the only sensible way forward.
Aww haha, thanks for reading and enjoying!
Thanks for making all your amazing comics!
Oh who's this now?
Both Sid and Mal came up, independently, with a calm-the-spirit-nonsense-with-wolfe-on-violin plan. wizard and witch I guess? or they're both just clever and resourceful in brilliant-if-unconventional ways?
