"In no more than two minutes," Saturn agreed. "But traffic is heavier now than when I clocked him before. I shall loap along the Bridge a-foot, and may out-pace him. Do you try to summon a hackney, or a sedan." And he preceded Daniel out the door, and down stairs. Which was fortunate for Daniel, as several ink-spattered Main-Topp patrons had by now formed up at the base of the stairs, in a retaliatory mood. Their ardor cooled when Saturn sallied forth, and through the little Mobb broke a path that Daniel was not slow to follow. "Our work above is concluded," Saturn announced, over his shoulder, as he went out, "and all losses shall be compensated anon—but not now." And with that he burst out the front door of the Main-Topp and into the streaming crowd of the Bridge.
