A) I feel really clever because I was the only one who knew that Deveraux stole the idol. Even if I didn’t expect the fascinating story that seems to lurk behind it in the shadow. I knew who was coming, but you surprised me with what was coming.

B) I feel really stupid because I didn’t recognize McGinty in the mirror image, and thought that Deveraux had grown a mustache. I blame my device for not showing the red color bright enough, but it was really my preconceived notion A) that made me overlook the obvious.

Not sure if this is what they call a balanced view?

BTW, thank you for your endorsement of my blog, means a lot to me.

Love the speculation here, guys.

Suffice it to say, this page and the one previous have HUGE implications on future events.

Lots of good points here, T. Gatto.

I think it is safe to say that there is definitely more than just theft on Deveraux’s agenda. He’s a man on a mission…

Unless the blade shows you whats on your mind/heart. If D is heavy with grief over his friend….then that might explain the reflection though not why the blade is locked up in a statue that’s not exactly made of gold.

I think he sees himself as being on a mission for McGinty, thus he is somehow an extention of his friend.

That or he feels really guilty.

or Both…

Well, I’ll be jiggered! Gotta say, he speaks the truth- when a woman LIKES what she’s getting, she will come back for MORE!

Well done!

In retrospect, you did give us at least 1 other clue that it was not McGinty, as the silhouette 2 pages back, is surely too slim to me the portly McGinty.

Deveraux’s past, recent loss, and recent actions, should have made him more of a prime suspect. I just assumed it was an islander, who stole the Idol, because I don’t like (or trust) the Shaman, and the Native Engineer seems like he is hiding something…

As for just what Deveraux is doing, with the knife, my instinct says to trust him because he said that he is doing it for McGinty but (if that is true) why wouldn’t he have enlisted Joe’s aid, or the aid of any other member of the crew? The easiest way to earn trust is to give it.

I think I will give him the benefit of the doubt, as McGinty saw some good in him, and I will trust the big man’s judgment.

Oh, and if he was just a thief, why not steel the gold from the Idol as well, it is worth a fortune?

Classy Deveraux is classy.
