Asenath smiles grimly.
”In the Contemporary Cultures Hall at the Miskatonic Exhibit Museum is a small display of jewelry from Innsmouth. It includes three bracelets. I want you to bring me one of them, tomorrow evening.”

"Why do you want it?" asks Alice.

Isadora Carmichael
Events have taken an unexpected turn. Isadora stays in the background, and doesn't want to reveal that she is with Alice.

“To look at it” replies Asenath. She takes a card from her pocket. “Here is my address. I’ll expect you and your friends tomorrow evening, then?”

"If all you want is to look at it," says Alice, taking the card, "would a photograph suffice?"

”Bring me the bracelet” says Asenath sternly. ”Then we will talk.”
She moves away and joins her peers.

Alice returns to her friends and fills them in on the conversation. "What do you think we should do?" she asks. "I think she knows something. I mean, we can't burgle the museum or anything like that, but perhaps if we talk to Dr. Bricknell tomorrow, he could arrange for us to borrow one to bring to Asenath. If, as she says, she only wants to look at it, then we can just bring it back when we're done. And if she attempts to keep it, we can involve the police at that point."

Balzac is feeling lubricated by lots of "tea" and stimulated by a bruising game of chess.
"I see no problem in trading some bauble for valuable knowledge. Personally, I would have no problem handing it over permanently if need be. Assuming we wouldn't get into trouble with the University. And also assuming that weird woman wouldn't use it to start raising the dead, as one random example of disaster."

"I wonder why she wants to see just one of the bracelets. Perhaps we should do some research on the jewelry so we have a better understanding of what's she's getting at with this? Harrison shrugs. "There must be a reason she needs to have it with her and not just look at it in the museum."

"I hope not," Alice says to Henry. "I've heard bad things about those Innsmouth folks. There was a big Federal raid there earlier this year, something about bootlegging operations." She nods to Harrison. "Yes, we can go to the museum to look at the bracelets and find out more about them, then do some research in the library if needed, in addition to talking to Dr. Bricknell."

Isadora Carmichael
Isadora hangs around some more with Simon and Harrison. If Simon was present during the conversation about the bracelet, she asks him whether he knows anything about it. "Asenath is indeed a powerful person," she comments. "Strong-willed. Does she often require such tasks?"

As they make their way outwards, Balzac remarks to Alice, "Did you know, Mlle, that the French invented chess?"

Simon is a little wide-eyed after witnessing the exchange between Asenath and Alice.
“Er…she just had me streak across campus, to be honest” he says in an awed voice. “Yes, you could say she’s strong-willed.” He seems uncomfortable talking about her.
“Well, it was nice meeting you, Ms. Carmichael. I hope you stop by again sometime.”
He raises his cup in a salute to Harrison and moves away to join another group.

"Well that was interesting. I had no idea Asenath was as intense as she looks." Harrison waves as Simon leaves and then shuffles his feet a couple minutes looking around the Cafe.
"I suppose we should leave now too." Harrison says to Isadora.
