[ Conspire at his own destruction, hmmph. Though, as much as he hates to admit it, there is some truth in the prophecy. He ended up being the sole agent behind his fall. Still, Strange can't help but give Childermass a brief quizzical look, though he doesn't say what's on his mind.
If he was the second then logically, it meant Norrell was the first. Governed by thieves and murderers, hmm? Childermass was certainly a thief, there was no use denying that, but a murderer? He stares at Childermass another moment, before breaking off with a little frown. Strange would never know, would he. And so, Strange focuses on the parts of the prophecy he remembers. ]

The second shall see his dearest possession in his enemy's hand. And then there's something about a nameless slave and the rain making a door for me—huh! I suppose we accomplished the latter, at least.
