The Capital Wasteland is a difficult place for people from other worlds to acclimate to. Fawkes hasn't brought many people to visit, but he's been there when his friend's done as much, and he's seen the looks on new arrivals' faces. It's only fair, he thinks, to make it gradual for Feuilly; he's managed to reach the Bar through a door northwest of Springvale and Megaton, in what's left of a barn. It provides a broad view and an opportunity to turn around and go back before it's too late.

Now he just has to find the Frenchman before opening the door back to the Wastes again.

He cranes his neck to look again at the key to the arrangements. Q and R are science and medicine; D and E are history. Feuilly pushes a hand through his hair. "I can try some of the science and medicine. History will be more easy. Ah--can I take books back to Milliways to work? Or is it better that they will stay here?"

"You're more than welcome to take them back to Milliways, so long as they're returned when you're done, of course," says Fawkes. "We can print another copy if need be, but it'd be a waste of resources to do it twice if we didn't have to."

"Yes, certainly. I will return them." He has a notebook out and takes the first book off the shelf, leafing through it for a table of contents. "I think--mm, I will first write a résumé of the collection, if there is not one--"

Feuilly smiles awkwardly over his shoulder at Fawkes. "It may take an hour or so--?"

"Of course," says Fawkes. "I'll be at Craterside Supply. You can see the sign if you turn left when you come out the door."

"Craterside Supply," he repeats. "Very well. --Ah. M. Fawkes, thank you very much for bringing me here." His smile turns ridiculously happy. "It is marvelous to try this work."

"You're very welcome," says Fawkes. "Thank you for your assistance."
