For Betsy and Andy Lack.
And, as always, for my wife, Jamie,
and my children, Lily and Nicholas.
When a man rubs out a pencil-mark, he should be careful to see that the line is quite obliterated. For if a secret is to be kept, no precautions are too great.
— GRAHAM GREENE, THE MINISTRY OF FEAR
No more tears now; I will think upon revenge.
— MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS
