Section X: Roddy and Nick Summary

In the first of the "blended" sections, Roddy begins Chapter 1 by describing the Lady's help in sending her and Grundo to London to see Maxwell Hyde. The Lady puts them in the hands of Salisbury, the personification of that city, who hands them over to Sarum to take them to London. Reinforcing Nick's narrative, they find a salamander in the car. Once the group arrives in London, however, they find that London too is personified, and does not want to let them in. The group spends a good amount of time trying to convince London, and is finally allowed to enter. However, once they get to Maxwell Hyde's house, they realize the reason for the delay: London would not let them enter until Gwyn had taken Hyde.
