(Valentine) —That is what we need, Basil. Valentine said, his hands drawn up beneath his chin. —The fools are the ones we must be most careful of. Most secrets are discovered by their accidents, very few by design. Very few, he repeated, looking up. —Foolproof enough, would you say, for a van Eyck?

(Valentine)—Easily, the perfect medium for him, for Jan van Eyck, but he’s been done so often … —Yes, yes, Basil Valentine interrupted impatiently, —there are probably more badly faked Jan van Eycks then any of the others.

NOTE: The existence of Hubert van Eyck during this time was being debated. Most agree that he did exist, and that he began the Adoration of the Lamb, part of the famous Ghent Altarpiece, which was finished by his brother.
