[ Which is a fine bit of absurdity, coming from Byerly - By, who's made a career of hiding in plain sight, of being so loud and obnoxious and obtrusive that everyone around him thought him incapable of doing harm. If this fellow is a spy, he's doubtless a spy of the same breed. Someone who seemed so unlikely that he went overlooked.
Though - hm. It appears that Dorian doesn't overlook him, does he? ]
