The pursuit of written docs had been exhausted without results so she stopped. Any

paperwork of value would be part of one of the libraries. What about pictures? Ninety-nine

percent of her thought it smart to terminate that search too.

An irritating one percent whispered a question with no immediate answer: What if, as the

expression goes, the right hand doesn’t know what the left is doing? What if a drawing or painting wound up at the National Gallery or the Tate instead? What if the powers that be at the time felt one of the galleries the most appropriate to house a painting or sketch? The National Gallery had existed for over one-hundred-fifty years and the Tate a little over a hundred. A big stretch of time for both. Something like relegating a drawing or painting of the medieval period to a museum

could’ve happened.

“Damn.” Esme sat up straight. She rolled her head around her shoulders, got a small pop

with each circle, then faced the monitor ready to search.

“Don’t get too excited. This will probably turn out another goose chase,” she told herself

as she pulled up the permanent exhibits at the National Gallery and it was. “Nuts.” She’d taken up talking to herself like Stephen said he’d started to do. She went to the Tate’s site and searched the exhibits there with the same dismal results. “Double damn.”

A short blurb in the About Us section on the Tate website caught her attention. It spoke of the hundreds of paintings and artwork in the basement due to limited display space.

“Hmm...”

The National Gallery must have stored tons of artwork in their basement too. If one did, so

did the other. The problem was getting entry into the basement. She knew no one at either gallery.

But Miranda had connections all over the city from her job at the History Channel as did Ian.

A phone call to Miranda worked. Within minutes Esme had the name and contact

information for both places along with permission to use Miranda and Ian’s names as references.

She made personal calls to each man rather than send a less personal email. Both curators

spoke to her at length. The man at the Tate wasn’t able to think of a work similar to what she

looked for, but the National Gallery curator offered a huge hope.

She made one more call.

“Electra, want to come with me tomorrow? I am going to a small museum in Kent.

“I’m guessing we’re going to the Museum of Canterbury and not the Rupert Bear

Museum,” Electra asked, checking out the side by side buildings.

The comic strip bear had been a favorite character of Esme and her sisters growing up.

All the girls had stuffed versions of him. Electra and Emily’s were packed away in an attic box for the day they had children. Esme’s would’ve been too if she hadn’t taken him into the bathtub with her one day to give a proper wash.

“No, we’re going to Rupert Bear to wade through all their docs on Crecy and Poitiers,”

Esme said straight-faced.

“Really?”

“No. We’re going to the Canterbury one, duh.
