How It All Goes Down
- The Jinni sets the unconscious Golem down in order to think of a place to hide her.
- He notices the locket with the slip of paper in it, and he takes the paper.
- When she wakes up, and the Jinni tells her what happened, she feels guilty and responsible for almost killing a man.
- She also kind of blames the Jinni for causing her to "forget [her] caution" (19.22).
- He says that if that's how she feels "you needn't ever see me again" (19.28), and with that, they part ways.
- Later, the Golem decides to destroy herself… but the piece of paper is gone from the locket.
- What's a girl to do when she can't destroy herself? Simple: propose marriage. She goes to Michael and asks him to marry her.
- The Jinni returns to Arbeely's forge, where Arbeely has a new business idea: women's jewelry.
- What an idea. The Jinni has an idea for a fabulous necklace…
- While he's working on the necklace, forging links with his bare hands, Matthew walks in.
- Matthew is a boy from the building the Jinni made the tin ceiling for.
- The Jinni makes Matthew promise to tell no one what he's seen… then he makes the boy his apprentice, ordering him to snip pieces of silver wire.
- A few days later, a not-so-special delivery arrives for Ahmad: The Golem has returned the silver bird.
- The Jinni casts the figure into the fire.
