[[The Gallery]] is described. It can be entered through ornate wooden doors beneath “the stained glass window showing the birds from which the [[Seven Noble Houses]] take their names”. It contains works of art from various styles, time periods and universes, presented in no particular order — including “photographs of poor children in a city that is almost but not quite [[London|Victorian London]]”, “pages from a medieval manuscript portraying impossible beasts”, “a Cubist painting showing the depths of [[Hell]]”, and “a painting [[Vincent Van Gogh|Van Gogh]] never made in this world”. The “armed statues in every style imaginable” which adorn the hallways, on the other hand, are not part of the exhibit: they are instead “the guards of the Gallery”, who “bring swift death to any who attempt to steal from it”. Deep in the Gallery, any visitor will find a room with paintings depicting key moments of their own life, including a painting of their own death at the far end of the room. “Few have the courage to venture this far.” | [[The Gallery]] is described.

==== Chapter 23: The Rose Cottage ==== | |||
[[Malthus]], a mysterious, lonely man, waits in the very cold room where he lingers and which he oversees although it “isn't really his”. Rubbing absently at [[Malthus's Ring|his silver ring]], he notices that the engraving has changed to an image of a stork in flight, as it always does to warn him of an impending arrival. Malthus is inwardly happy, as he always loves meeting new people, “but he [is] also aware of the fact that no one ever [finds] their way to [[the morgue]] by accident”. | |||
