"John Uskglass was raised in Faerie," he points out coldly before looking back across the pool and finally deciding to get back to his feet. "He came back to our world and told our lands to be magic and they were. You can hardly compare me to that."

"And trying to find my home without the Ringmaster would be folly, anyhow. There are infinite Earths, infinite Englands. Worse, I'd be going back with nothing to show for all my effort."
