[20:44] <Damsel> "Yes, sir.I would wish to know into whose care such a remarkable thing has been given."

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="47" w="" st="on">20:47</st1>] <Legault> That's... A while.

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="47" w="" st="on">20:47</st1>] <Figure> "I am in fact about to come to the begining of my contract though"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="48" w="" st="on">20:48</st1>] <Figure> "And then I shall be succeeded"<o p=""></o>

[20:49] <Damsel> "I think I understand."

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="49" w="" st="on">20:49</st1>] <Figure> "After all it would be pointless if it were at the begining"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="49" w="" st="on">20:49</st1>] <Figure> "You cannot see a tree by the roots"<o p=""></o>
[20:49] <Durroth> you can see part of the tree

[20:50] <Damsel> "The end of all?"

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="50" w="" st="on">20:50</st1>] <Figure> "A very narrow part"<o p=""></o>
[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="50" w="" st="on">20:50</st1>] <Figure> "From the canopy you can see all"<o p=""></o>
[20:50] <Durroth> point conceded

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="51" w="" st="on">20:51</st1>] <Figure> "and less fixed then the present"<o p=""></o>

[<st1 time="" hour="20" minute="51" w="" st="on">20:51</st1>]

• Damsel inclines her head again. "That is what troubled me. Though does

not the end of the Oracle also imply that there is at least some fixedness?"

[20:51] <Iago> "That actually makes a tremendous deal of sense"
