A man in a grey boiler suit emerged from one of the outbuildings carrying a toolbox. He walked towards the main building. The few students who were outside showed appropriate respect, but otherwise paid little attention.
The man stopped at the wall near to the main entrance, and opened his toolbox. From this he extracted a brass arrow and masonry tools.
He proceeded to attach the arrow to the wall such that it pointed to the west. |

Miss Mercury watched, slightly bemused, as the man in the grey boilersuit walked back towards the outbuilding. Not one of the Caretaker's usual contractors, as far as she could see. Still, there must be a reason. Mr Ganglin the Caretaker never ordered anything without good reason.
She inspected the arrow: sleek, smart and mounted straight. She nodded once in approval, took a last look, and disappeared up the stairs to the main door. |
