Mortlake was in the cellar of St. Ananias, an area used for storage. He had asked the caretaker to close it off to all but the two professors. The college staff was used to his eccentric ways and glad to accommodate them. In return, they received generous gifts for birthdays and Christmas. Normally, these bribes were to overlook the antics of Mortlake’s cats, but sometimes they related to stranger things.

The clutter stored in the basement had been carefully restacked, so it screened the space from the stairwell. Mortlake was using hurricane lamps to light the area. They were, he’d explained, less likely to fail than electricity. He’d already finished drawing a pattern on the freshly swept floor. There was a circle in red chalk, within which he had carefully formed a five-pointed star in yellow. At the vertices of the pentagram were small bowls, each made from a different substance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-indent: 22pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Twentieth Century',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e“Can I help?” she asked.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-indent: 22pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Twentieth Century',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e“Of course!” he said, handing her a list and gesturing at a row of small bottles. “Dried herbs in bowls.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.38; text-indent: 22pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Twentieth Century',sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eHe returned to the circle, drawing symbols and letters at various points within the pattern.

She completed the distribution of the herbs, then stood back to watch Mortlake add an outer circle of salt. She recognized astrological symbols, some Hebrew letters, and what appeared to be runes. As an archaeologist, she had spent decades studying civilizations that believed in magic and supernatural beings.
