Father Samuel handed his passport to the receptionist, and placed his travel bag beside him on the floor. Although he was only moderately overweight, it was enough for long trips to be an exertion – the overnight flight from Israel and the convoluted rail journey to Oxford from London’s Heathrow airport had both been harder than expected.

‘You are just here for two nights, today and tomorrow?’ asked the receptionist. When Father Samuel confirmed her information was correct, she pressed a button on her computer and passed him a short printed card. ‘Please just fill out some contact details here and sign here,’ she directed, pointing to different boxes on the form.

Father Samuel feigned gratitude, then shuffled to one side of the main reception desk, where a pen was chained to a leaflet dispenser. But instead of taking the pen to sign the form, he was drawn to one of the tourist leaflets. It was promoting a university event which was open to the public, and it was happening tonight.

He lifted out the flyer, disgusted that such material was openly available in the city, while he desperately tried to learn more about the event. What did it mean if discussions like this were already happening – publicly and seriously – and in Oxford of all places, a city overflowing with academic respectability? It meant his mission was even more vital than he had imagined. Even without Stolz’s papers, it seemed as though, in Oxford at least, the secret was barely a secret any more.

He would have to find out what was said – to discover what information was already out there, and who knew about it.

Samuel filled out the form, handed it in, then took his key card and accepted the directions up to his room.

Before he left reception, he folded one of the promotional leaflets and placed it in his pocket. Then he lifted out all the others, scrunched them up, and stuffed them in his travel bag for disposal in the seclusion of his room.

It was just a small gesture, but one Father Samuel hoped would help prevent Oxford Astrology Association’s speaker meeting on ‘War and the Natural World’ from having too large an audience.
