Doctor Tivoli removed his horn rimmed spectacles as he flicked through one of the books that had caught his interest as he prowled the library shelves that lunchtime; and placed them on the desk.  It was an old book, its pages weathered and torn and it had been used in part to depict some students less than meritable artistic talent.  He closed the book and slipped it into the safety of his battered leather briefcase; he stood and went to walk form the desk, stopping suddenly as he realised what he had forgotten.<br/><br/>He turned back to the desk; picked up the glasses and slipped them inside his coat, then picked up the small pair of dice that had been lying next to them.  The final bell had gone some moments before and he needed to be on his way.<br/><br/>As he left the faculty building he caught sight of one of his colleagues; a good friend really and smiled in their direction, picking up his pace as he walked closer.  As he got near; from out the corner of his eye he saw the school bus pull away leaving behind one of the students; her dark red hair gave her a distinctive look but for a moment he could place a name to her face.
