520 Behind the seemingly innocuous facade of St. Mary's
Institute of Historical Research, a different kind of
academic work is taking place. Just don't call it "time
travel"--These historians "investigate major historical
events in contemporary time." And they aren't your
harmless eccentrics either; a more accurate description,
as they ricochet around history, might be unintentional
disaster-magnets. From Tudor England to the burning city
of Persepolis, from a medieval St. Mary's under siege to
Victorian Rushford and a very nasty case of gaol fever,
Max is struggling to keep her private life intact. There's
an ambitious programme hindered by giant teapots, plus
Mrs. Midgely's objection to dead hamsters in her airing
cupboard, and Mr. Markham's stubborn refusal to reveal his
exact marital status. And as if that's not enough - the
unfortunately not leprosy-laden Malcolm Halcombe is back.
Admittedly, none of this is the most secure platform from
which to launch an initiative to bring down the renegade
Clive Ronan, but hey - what's the worst that could happen?
