+ There was no record of Joshua’s entry into the country, of course, any more than there was an ordinary explanation for the way Joshua and Remiel had arrived just now, without coming by air or sea. Academia Sodales Itineris, the Academy of the Companions of the Journey, maintained offices in London and had produced evidence of Marcus’s presence in Britain going back to 1890. The extended Margolies family could be traced much further into the past. In most cases, the evidence was genuine. After 1930, Marcus Lange became Benjamin Margolies. Ariel Lange, née Haivri, became Edith. But had Joshua brought the children with him, their sudden appearance would have raised too many questions in Britain. Joshua had never found a timeline that did not quickly unravel.
