"She can't copy me, but she can't copy the other me either, and we didn't get a chance to try her on Alice," shrugs Bella, "and the other ingots we know haven't been along on trips, so we don't know if she works on ingots as well as witches."

"I volunteer for experimentation," says Lazarus.

"Then I look forward to meeting her!"

"All right. This is on the agenda for next time, then, whenever someone finds a door again."

Lazarus beams.

"I suppose we shouldn't impose on your hospitality anymore," Bella remarks, and she decides for no particular reason to leave via door and walk to Marspire.
