...followed by lady Desdemona.
There was something of a scared look on Hypatia's face as Desdemona walked in and approached the young woman.
"Do not worry,he is quite harmless,unless you mean me harm that is." Desdemona smiled and continued. "I have come for the first part of my scripts, I trust they are ready? Should I speak to the owner perhaps?"

"Not at allI am in charge." The girl replied. "In fact I have them right here." She turned to her desk and then handed my a vst amount of transcripts,which she told me she had copied herself and knew to be precise to the letter.

"There are of course a few left to copy but I will have them ready for you by tomorrow,I hope that won't be a problem?" Hypatia asked.

"It isn't,but I won't come myslef tomorrow,I will send Antonius here...now that you know him." I smiled at her again.

I then tok my leave after arranging the hour for the rest of my scripts to be ready.

AS I stood just outside the scriptorium with Antonius I told him to head of to the harbur and look for Oceanus and extend my invitation for dinner tonight,in my home.

"I will now head off to the baths,I need to relax...you may come and get me ones you have talked to Oceanus.I will need your escort home Antonius.And carry this for me,will you?" I asked him as I handed him the scripts before departing.
