Chapter 54 : Timothy Garner

'Among other things...' His mind was filled with thoughts and memories of all those "other things" as he walked out of the meeting accompanied by Benjamin and Jordan.
It seemed to be a pleasant conversation Jordan was having with him, but very one-sided by virtue of the fact that he hadn't heard a word of it. Benjamin would chime in on occasion, but he hadn't heard that, either. His mind was in another place, another time, and old words echoed in his ears.
'What is it you think you're doing? ...Look! Now you've gone and broken Marcus. He's even begun to act like you - silly! ...You're charlatans, nothing but charlatans! As far as I'm concerned, the Seer shouldn't have an office! ...Who do you think you are asking to marry my sister as if you had a right to her? ...You have no place here! Stay out of my life - the two of you! I will have nothing to do with you.'
