She had reviewed all the latest data herself recently, of course, before even proposing this. Her own boss, Airey Flamsteed, had been one of the first (perhaps even the first to have taken it, though not under laboratory conditions. Still, he had not complained of or exhibited any side effects...

Finally she said, "None that I know of. Except that it doesn't always work, or doesn't work fully. Apparently in some cases, there's only so much it can do, and it hasn't been established yet why it works so well in some instances and not in other similar cases. You can, and should, discuss it with your Healers as well, of course. And think about it, Helena. You don't have to decide right away." Jane could feel Violet's look at her when she said this and gave her young friend a warning look back. Violet was young and impatient, but this was Helena's decision and, given her good progress so far, there was no reason to rush into anything. Jane was just glad her friend's domineering father wasn't there; she suspected Violet had arranged to busy her grandfather elsewhere while they paid this particular visit.
