WHO: Ariel and Calliope WHAT: Dinner? WHERE: A restaurant on the outskirts of Amsterdam WARNINGS: Probably nothing.
Ariel had told Marietta he'd be going to dine with Miss Sedant that evening; he wasn't frightened of her any longer - he couldn't die, after all - but he felt a grudging obligation to look in on the woman. She was rather alone at this point.
He'd made arrangements to meet her on neutral turf - he hated New York, and he figured she could take or leave London. Ariel was waiting outside a fairly elegant restaurant in Amsterdam, smoking one of his little Chinese cigarettes.
