Part 2, Chapter 5 Summary

Wayne wakes on the first of the month with sniffles as he allows himself to be mildly sick to build up health in his metalmind. He “trades” his broken watch for the doily under a candlestick in Wax’s home to use as a tissue. He joins Wax in the man’s study and asks about what Wax is doing to solve the latest mystery. Wax wants Wayne to go to the Village, where people of Terris origin live in Elendel, but Wayne reminds Wax of the date and that there is something he has to do. Wax tells him he does not, but Wayne insists. He “trades” the dirty doily for Wax’s bottle of whisky and leaves.

Marasi checks the newsstand in the afternoon and compares the headlines of the morning and afternoon editions. The morning headline about Winsting’s death hints they will blame the constables, but the afternoon edition reveals someone discovered the connection between Winsting and the underworld leaders. Marasi wonders what will happen, knowing a hint of corruption near the governor could lead to unrest.

Wax goes to the Village in Wayne’s place, despite his dislike of the place. His presence is noted immediately, and he is met by Feruchemists who can increase their strength.
