Chapter Three: Echoes Part Three- Statue

It's raining, and I slog through the streets cursing the snarky twelve-year-old who forbade me to change guises, and cursing that I appeared as an Egyptian sand cat. So much for remembering old days. I stop suddenly at the edge of Trafalgar Square. There, where Gladstone's statue used to be... I step forward and narrow my eyes. No way. But it is. London hasn't forgotten. I give a sad sort of half smile, and turn away from the statue of Nathaniel. All I can think to say, but don't, is that the plaque is wrong. His name wasn't John Mandrake.
