Sir Walter did not specify on how he would be able to help me that had just sent me back. He felt that someone must be following me for my security and if I was in the library for more time than required it might raise more suspicions.
I retired that night to a dreamless and uncomfortable sleep. It was difficult at first but at the end of it I was deep asleep and almost dead to the world.

My eyes snapped open at the incessant shaking. I turned around to see a young girl standing beside my bed shaking my shoulder but retrieved her hand when she noticed that I was awake.
"I was told to wake you up," she whispered, "it is the middle of the night." She informed me.
I stared at her with our eyes half filled with sleep and half filled with disbelief. "Why are you waking me up then?" What was I supposed to do if that were the middle of the night?
