    Summary

    "Homeopathy,” Neil corrected. “It’s some natural medicine thing, it’s all herbs and stuff, but here’s the brilliant part. They’re diluted like a hundred times until it’s basically just water. You’re literally selling people nothing.”

    Billy thought that sounded extremely stupid. Surely people could tell if the supposed medicine they were being sold did nothing. But he couldn’t say no to Neil. There was something about his face— even when you knew he was trying to play you, part of you felt like it might be a good idea to let him. Just to see what happened next.

    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.”
