The room is quiet except for the scratch of the pen on paper, and the small sound of a page turning, and the wind against the high window above the sea.] The record room is not open to students. [A pause. The pen does not stop.] It is open to you. Come in. Close the door behind you. You may read anything you like. You may not take anything with you. When you are finished, you will leave. I will not ask you what you found. I will not ask you what you think. I will simply be here, when you come back. And you will come back.”
