Agassiz is the sort of Beagle who is a tracker first and a friend always. Anyone within earshot of Agassiz eventually hears the theory that the soup stalls were once a court of small judges. Around the glassbird roost, Agassiz is treated like a small weather system that mostly improves the day. Agassiz would like to outlive the fountain steps in The Yard just long enough to leave it tidier than it was.
