The watchmaker confiscated the sock and threw it over his shoulder to Thaniel, who caught it with the tips of his fingers. It was climbing up the leg of the piano stool when he caught up. He exclaimed at it, was ignored, and then went after it just in time to see it disappear into the parlour. It was quite a coincidence for a mechanical sea creature and he was speculating whether it could possibly have been done on purpose when Katsu stole his other sock and flopped on to the floor with an unbiological bang, whereupon it octopused out of the open door and slid down the banister. Blending historical events with dazzling flights of fancy, it opens doors to a strange and magical past. The chain skittered over the metal tentacle with a high, thin pitch like incoming sea. The Watchmaker of Filigree Street is a sweeping, atmospheric narrative that takes the reader on an unexpected journey through Victorian London, Japan as its civil war crumbles long-standing traditions, and beyond. Around it was looped the chain of his watch. It extended a tentacle with a clicking of metal joints.
