"I doubt you could spy on him," Novalis says, "for all of the reasons that you evidently appreciate. But that doesn't change your basic mission: figure out what he's up to. You will probably need to do that indirectly, by tracking down any clues you find about where he's been and what he's done, in order to assemble an overview."
