‘I’m not getting anywhere on my project,’ said Felix gloomily.

‘Nor am I.’ confessed Sophia. ‘I’ve got the conclusions. It’s just the bit before that’s missing.’

‘I haven’t got anything,’ said Felix. ‘Neither the conclusions nor the bit before.’

‘Let’s put our heads together,’ said Sophia.

‘Hello!’ said Mrs Ferreira. ‘What are you doing here?’

She was just going out of the dispensary with a trolley. Every morning she went round the wards with the prescriptions for the patients. It took her most of the morning and then, if she was still on duty, she would go round again in the late afternoon.

‘We’ve come to see if there’s anything here that would help Felix with his project.’

‘What was the project on, again?’ asked Mrs Ferreira.

‘Anti-weaponry,’ said Sophia.

‘I don’t think there’s a lot here - ’

‘Medicines,’ said Sophia.

‘Ah, well, those we do have.’

‘They have to be old medicines,’ said Felix.

‘Some of the medicines here are pretty old,’ said Mrs Ferreira’s assistant.

‘Twelfth-century.’ said Sophia.

‘But not quite that old.’ said Mrs Ferreira.

‘We thought there might be some old books.’ said Sophia.

‘They would be in a library. And not ours,’ said Mrs Ferreira. ‘The Cathedral Library, perhaps. Or you could try the Infermeria?’
