42 - Deviation from the perpendicular

The brief earth tremor that shook the hills around Gwair-on-Wye recorded only the slightest perturbation on the seismographs at the Borders University. It was however enough to send a squall of researchers out into the field (and taverns) of Gwair to take complex physical measurements of the environment. One of these scientists was a young flaxen haired researcher called Gwendolyn Thorogood. While most of her interest was in the deviation from perpendicular of walls that had last been measured some three decades earlier, it was Gwendolyn herself who was the subject of interest amongst a trio of young curious men who stood in the old marketplace looking in her direction.
