Such sensitive and dangerous research must be contained to Mysteries."

Right, he had said something about a list of requirements, hadn't he...Jane had been uncharacteristically shocked at his offer of a raise in salary and the gift and had forgotten. And yes, how to solve the problem was an issue--she had been thinking about it off and on for most of the year, though after her last conversation with him, she hadn't put much faith in getting anything. Now with the prospect more realistic, she started thinking of possibilities again.

"Yes, of course I hadn't expected an entire laboratory to myself," she assured him. "I wasn't sure what possibilities existed in the Department, so wasn't sure what to propose specifically. And of course, we would want to keep this within the Dept. of Mysteries." Which was why Jane had not taken any of this home with her to try to work on it there. "I had been trying to find a little-used cupboard or small storeroom somewhere that might be used, but creating a sterile section in an existing chamber is a definite possibility, one I hadn't thought of. And you see," she went on, "it's not just the risk of other environments contaminating the next stage of my work I'm worried about. The results of these next experiments might interfere with other people's work as well. And the Love Chamber, in particular, would be sensitive to contamination." For the next stage of her experiments would lead into the Black Stage of alchemy, and the Dark Night of the Soul.
