Summary
Was it wishful to consider this man changed? Chagrined? Humbled by a rejection that seemed pretty damn final and the resulting scurvid slog across the barrenlands? Probably. But damn if it wouldn't be a hell of a lot easier to be puppetmastered by him again.

Summary
Goodsir had watched him with an expression somewhere between distaste and pity. “Would it not be worth it, to finally be free of the devil?”
The beast would still be hunting us all, Sol had thought, and what’s one devil dead when that thing can tear a man’s soul from his body—“He’s not the devil,” Sol had said. “There’s far worse than Cornelius Hickey tracking us.”
A strange look came over the doctor, and he had again reached for the poison. “Very well then, Sergeant. I’ll dispatch of one devil for you, if you finish the other.”
*
In which Solomon Tozer tries to convince himself that he is bringing Hickey to justice.

Summary
“You’ve never seen me box,” Tozer finally says.
Hickey looks baffled at that. For a second that’s satisfying enough to make Tozer feel like less of an idiot for saying it, but not entirely. “I have,” he says finally—a reflexive lie, which makes Tozer exhale, exasperated.
“You haven’t. I’d have seen you.”
After everything, Hickey and Tozer make it to Boston. Tozer sets his sights on the ring; Hickey has his eyes on the horizon.
