By this time, the Vagabonds had mostly come out into the open. Jack didn't look at them – he knew what they'd be – but rather at Eliza, who'd become anxious. Turk the Horse sensed this and looked askance at Jack, showing a white Mohametan crescent-moon in the eye. Jack knew, then, that, as it was with Turk, so it'd be with every person and beast they met along their way: they'd gladly suffer Eliza to climb on their backs and ride them, they'd feel her feelings as if she were an actress on a Southwark stage, and they'd shoot dirty looks at Jack. He'd only have to find a way to use it.
