““Take the moon." "I don't understand." "Watch," said Zorya Polunochnaya. She raised her left hand and held it in front of the moon, so that her forefinger and thumb seemed to be grasping it. Then, in one smooth movement, she plucked at it. For a moment, it looked like she had taken the moon from the sky, but then Shadow saw that the moon shone still, and Zorya Polunochnaya opened her hand to display a silver Liberty-head dollar resting between finger and thumb. "That was beautifully done," said Shadow. "I didn't see you palm it. And I don't know how you did that last bit." "I did not palm it," she said. "I took it. And now I give it to you, to keep safe. Here don't give this one away.””
