'A brave and steadfast heart can overcome any fear.' (as quoted by Lindavar, Benelaius' former apprentice).

Behind the Scenes
Camber Fosrick is an analog of the fictional detective Dupin, with Benelaius treating him with the same scorn as did Sherlock Holmes.

''Dr. Watson says: "You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe's Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist outside of stories." ''

''Sherlock Homes rose and lit his pipe. "No doubt you think that you are complimenting me in comparing me to Dupin," he observed. "Now, in my opinion, Dupin was a very inferior fellow. That trick of his of breaking in on his friends' thoughts with an apropos remark after a quarter of an hour's silence is really very showy and superficial. He had some analytical genius, no doubt; but he was by no means such a phenomenon as Poe appeared to imagine." '' (from A Study in Scarlet)
