Hadolfus was just starting to go off on a tirade about Kafton making High Curator before he did, when the door to the Museum hut flew open and a panting town guard entered.

“Your pardon, sir, “ he gasped out, “but we have a rumor that Offys camping down by the old mill might know of a piece of crystal.”

For a moment, both of the Curators froze in mid action, then leaped toward him.

“Take us to this old mill immediately!” This came from Hadolfus, the older of the Curators. Harty was afraid of him.

“Yes sir,” he answered, “right this way. It’s about half a mile.”

They were out of the door in a flash and Hadolfus yelled at Padro to go get the rest of the Town Guards. Padro turned and ran in the opposite direction.

Hadolfus smiled. No other Curator was going to share in this.
