Hades, meanwhile, steals the original manuscript of Charles Dickens's "Martin Chuzzlewit". He also kidnaps Mycroft, Polly, and the Prose Portal in order to blackmail the literary world; any changes made to the plot of a novel's original manuscript will change all other copies. To demonstrate his demands are serious, Hades kills Mr Quaverley, a minor character from the original manuscript of "Martin Chuzzlewit". When his demands are not met, he stages a theft of the original manuscript of "Jane Eyre", and kidnaps Jane for another ransom demand. This causes the text of all copies of the "Jane Eyre" novel to abruptly end at the moment of Jane's kidnapping, roughly halfway through the book.
