From:
"...a parking lot at the edge of Zorkagrad..." (p/ 551)
- the four hundred ychani, concealing in their midst the cowled and cloaked Dominic Flandry and Kossara Vymezal, march through:
"...a new district of private homes and clustered condominium units..." (pp. 552-553)
- which is deserted apart from:
"An occasional militia squad..." (p. 553)
- because the residents have sought the protection of the inner city forcefield generators.
Older streets are also quiet because Dennitzan citizens:
"'...under discipline, often in their regular Voyska units...'" (p. 554)
- have confined Imperials in certain buildings as hostages for the release of the arrested Gospodar:
"'...and the good behavior of their Navy ships.'" (ibid.)
The good behavior of the Navy! I like the Khruaths (fully participative democracy) on Avalon and the ispravkai (citizens' direct action) on Dennitza. In fact, this ispravka traps a Merseian agent whom Flandry is then able to interrogate with crucial consequences.
