04 - A way. A lone. A last.

Far to the South (well Hove actually) Rabbi Oud Ramonides is perplexed. He assumes it is the tikkun. Leporello Swinson has turned over a new leaf, and withdrawn from his age-inappropriate entanglements with Prigentia Colswain, and her mother Grapella. He is seeking a celibate and contemplative life, and asks the old man for advice. Oud feels ill-equipped to advise on celibacy. He suggests that perhaps a period of chaste meditation in a rural setting away from temptation might be a reasonable strategy. When he learns of Samuel Quinine's plans, he suggests that Leporello accompanies the bookseller when he moves to Gwair-on-Wye. Leporello agrees and goes home to pack.
