Titus popped a knuckle, then another; it sounded like distant gun shots, 
huge hands working on aching and tired joints.

The sisters at the orphanage had always said he'd get arthritis from that.

He'd ignored them, just as he'd ignored most of their cruel yet accurate 
advice.

Still, they'd certainly given him the ability to think and see weaknesses 
and avenues and ways of getting what he wanted.
