"Ah, Miles. Good thing you showed up. I need to talk to Bacon rather
urgently. Scholar business, you know; nothing that a boorish, uneducated
sloven like yourself would be interested in. Go and fetch him, will you?"

The Scholars' Garden
This plot of earth is where the friars grow their herbs. Back in town, it's
whispered that they grow mandrake and nightshade and such vile things to use in
sorcerous potions, but that's just talk. Some of the herbs are good to eat,
and others make simples for the sick, and that's an end to it. A trail south
leads back to town, and the friars' rooms are just inside the small stone house
to north.
Friar Bungay is here, patiently pounding a stake into the soil with a sturdy
mallet.
