Whoever it is has worked very hard at concealing their identity and not stepping forward to reap the rewards of having such a powerful stature. It's clearly someone much more cunning than we anticipated.<br /><br />I noticed right away that they were both "Mrs." (the Dark Sisters,) and was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they were just called Mrs. to simply have a name, and it doesn't mean anything. I doubt that's true, since Ms. Clare is a master storyweaver and always has a motive for everything.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742984189999992550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-13524378929662304552011-11-01T20:05:39.976-05:002011-11-01T20:05:39.976-05:00Ha!

There is something very off with him.<br /><br />There has to be someone watching the Institute to know when everyone left. I think it's either Mrs.Dark or some automatons. Some actually look like real people so it would be hard to guess what they really are. I also think Nate might have something to do with as well. He is a sneaky one.<br /><br />I haven't even realized the whole Mrs. thing. That would mean she is married but I don't see who would marry her. Maybe because she is old everyone just says Mrs. This was a very formal time and unless you personally knew someone you would use a title with their last name to address them. I don't see her married to anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-29592196800948294832011-10-31T00:33:32.044-05:002011-10-31T00:33:32.044-05:00On the first read through, I had no idea who the M...On the first read through, I had no idea who the Magister was, if not DeQuincey. <br />Everyone is suggesting Mortmain, but I wouldn't expect a human to have that much power in the Shadow world.<br /><br />Mrs. Dark a widow warlock?

It is either him, or someone we haven't met yet. <br /><br />I never trusted Nate, and I thought that it could be him. <br /><br />I'm not sure who she could be married too. I think in 1800's London, a Mrs could just be given to a very old lady as respect, so maybe she isn't really married but uses the Mrs b/c it gives more freedom and respect. Or maybe her husband died years ago, and we will never know.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954702520425711027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-51769258306159633822011-10-30T07:39:11.974-05:002011-10-30T07:39:11.974-05:00Mortmain, it has to be Mortmain....Just like Charl...Mortmain, it has to be Mortmain....Just like Charlotte said earlier on (I am paraphrasing) he's a Mundane who thinks he can use Down-Worlders to become powerful, but in the end will find himself over his head (and if we are lucky without one, lol)<br /><br />I won't answer the second one since I have read this book twice already so I know the answer and it's a good one :-)<br /><br />I noticed the same thing about the Dark Sisters, but have NO idea...it could just be for show, since during that time period to be an unmarried female on your own was not really acceptable but I suppose she could have 'duped' someone into marrying her at sometime.

But I don't really know who else it could be, we haven't been introduced to a lot of other characters outside of the Institute. Magnus is unlikely -- he's a good guy, right? I guess there's a small chance it could be Nate, but that too seems unlikely.<br />Well, Mortmain knows when they left, so I guess he could have been involved in the attack on the Institute.<br />Regarding "Mrs." Dark, maybe it's just for show, I know women had less rights back in those times, maybe she had a "fake" husband on the side in who's name she did business under.AlternaKatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606104563138198790.post-70842037916956651612011-10-29T22:23:47.154-05:002011-10-29T22:23:47.154-05:00It must be mortimain.

Unless... he's either vulnerable that day or... he's waiting for the Institute to be defnseless. Either way, he has to feel as though he can't take on the Institute if they know who he is. In which case, he is in a vulnerable position. So probably not another vampire meaning Camille is ruled out. No werewolves or fairies have really been introduced yet. It could be a shadowhunter I suppose, maybe one of the Lightwoods... but they are on the expedition against De Quincey so that's not right. It could be Mortmain since he was the one who said it was De Quincey in the first place! And yet the Dark sisters laughed at the prospect! I think I've found out who it is! Am I right?! Can't wait to read more and find out!<br /><br />Maybe someone has a watching spell so they can spy on the institute? Or sent automatons? Or sent spies?... Too many ideas to contemplate. :P<br /><br />Oh my gosh! That's true that the Dark sisters are married! I bet we'll find out who the husbands/wives are later on! Maybe come to avenge the sisters! Maybe even more powerful demons like... Abadon! Oh! What if that's one of the husbands! That would explain why he attacked Jace HERONDALE in MI! He holds a grudge or something! Or maybe it's the demon of fear that we learn about in City of Ashes! Makes sense since the Dark sisters seem to like torturing people! Oh, the possibilities! :D Or maybe it's not a demon at all! Maybe it's someone who is a part of the Clave!

I feel like he knew by a weird coincedence. <br />And Mrs. Dark? Whats up with that? We never heard anything about her being married. You only hear about the sister.

I'm thinking it was either Mortmain or in some twist Nate, because those two are the only recent guests with questionable histories. Perhaps not, though. <br /><br />Whoa! I have never noticed that before. I've read CA countless times now, and I let THAT slip?! *bangs head against virtual wall*. Sheesh. Well, I'm thinking that's a bit of foreshadowing, and it will mean something more in Clockwork Prince. There has to be some story behind it. The only strange thing I can come up with off the top of my head is maybe Mrs. Dark was married to whoever Tessa's "father" is?
