Rubinrot Page #6

actually quite strong-willed.

That impressed him.

Ah... He was a good friend. His

absence here is still extremely painful.

Who's the little boy?

Little boy?

Here?

Come. I'll introduce you to Gideon now.

Oh... Ah...

Gideon. This is Gwendolyn Shepherd.

Gwendolyn. This is Gideon de Villiers.

Ya... we've met, ah... already.

And my suit is still at the cleaners.

Oh, so you have to wear jeans now?

So sorry!

It's possible that Gwendolyn

is the new Charlotte.

That's a joke, right?

It's complicated, you see.

It's best you go into Dragon Hall and

they'll give you the details there.

Gwendolyn. This gene induces journeys

back to indeterminate points in history.

You could fall off a high-rise building

directly into the middle of a war, you realize,

or even be burned at the stake.

But, you're safe in this room here,

regardless of the time you're in.

Here, this is our insignia,

just in case you should meet one of us.

When will it happen again?

That's very hard to say. You see,

time travellers are all quite unique.

The Count of Saint-Germain was the

fifth of the twelve time travellers.

It is said that as a young man he made

up to seven journeys back per day.

You could imagine how

dangerous it could be.

You must be kidding? That's terrible.

I mean, I can't be like that?

Well, if you are the Ruby, then you'll be

able to elapse with the chronograph.

Elapse what?

Elapse, yes. We have a way to control

the unplanned time travel...

and send you to a fixed point

in the past for a few hours.

Now, to get started we'll just need

to take a few drops of your blood.

A time machine that runs on blood?

You could call it that, but it's

based on sound science, I assure you.

But if Lucy and Paul

stole the chronograph,

how can it be here?

Good question.

Well, there's a second chronograph. Luckily

we were able to get it in working order.

Any other questions?

When I went back in time

at St Lennox's, um...

I... I saw myself there...

there were two of me.

Yes. So in the future you

returned there...

I mean you're going to travel

there once again.

Such things do occur, although

we do our best to avoid it.

It makes things complicated.

On your journeys, it's often dark.

Another cookie, with orange filling?

Charlotte. Wait a minute!

"Phantom symptoms"?!

It's just so humiliating.

I mean, not that you even care at all!

No. Of course I do! It's just that

I'm worried about your cousin and

what could happen to her.

You're worried now?

We have been planning this and trainning

for years. She doesn't have a clue.

And now I'm in the middle of it.

Oh, Ya, poor Gwendolyn!

She's in real danger now.

But, think of the opportunities
