Things a Tim Powers Protagonist Wouldn't Say:

  • "Actually, I have quite a bit of experience with magic."


  • "Old scars? Nope, none of those."


  • "Please continue. This is all very interesting."


  • "The Fisher King? You've been reading too many fantasy novels."


  • "I've got a wife back home."


  • "I'll do it, for the good of mankind."


  • "I won't be much help to you in a fight."


  • "No thanks; I don't drink."
