I look concerned. "Is something the matter? Here, wait.  Hold on a moment."

I turn to Cosette, the Arachne. "Cosette, if you would, please finish going over the new saltwater procedures. Just use my notes."

Cosette folds her arms. "Shouldn't Mary be here? She'll be the one mixing the saline, after all."

"No no, it's fine. She can fill in the others later.  Just go over procedures and I'll be back before the night shift."

She sighs. "All right, Thomas."

I usher us into my office down the hallway and pull out a cushy chair and start pouring water from a decanter.

"Here, have a seat. You're welcome to come by and have dinner later, if you like. I know the kids would like to see you."

I set my pocket watch on the desk and sit down. "All right, now, what is it you want to ask? I can't imagine you came all the way from Oz just to ask a few questions."
