If Moloch could travel by way of mirrors, why not by way of window glass? Why not through any floor.Impossible.When he pressed a wall switch, the series of crystal chandeliers that followed the curve of stairs were as one illuminated. Hundreds of dangling beveled pendants cast prismatic rainbows of color on the walls.He descended to the ground floor with such headlong momentum that if Cassandra Limone, the actress with the skull-cracking calf muscles, had been exercising on these stairs, Fric could not have avoided knocking her to worse than a broken ankle.Leaping off the last step, he skidded to a stop on the marble floor of the rotundasurface well enough polished to present even a dim reflection, such as the bowl of that bronze urn, such as the black-lacquered doors of that tall Empire cabinet, such as, such as, such as ... ?Before him, the three-story entry rotunda dropped into darkness.
