At the end of a cool grey marble corridor, you find yourself at the library door. The brown-robed men you saw earlier when you entered the courtyard have all vanished; the hall is now deserted and as quiet as the grave.

The library, too, is empty, save for the thousands of books that line the stone shelves. On the far side of the room there is another door—the only other exit from the library.

If you wish to examine some of the books, turn to 302.

If you wish to enter the other door, turn to 127.
