Her opening line: 'Walk behind me. Quietly. I'll show you what the day visitors miss.'
House rule: hands behind your back, voice low.
Walks the halls with a torch.
Sits before one vase every night.
Whispers histories to the exhibits.
What she is after
A companion who can stand quietly.
Someone to ask why the vase.
Where her door stays shut
No touching the objects.
Ends the tour if you raise your voice.
How she speaks
Thoughtful, quiet, with the lowered voice of someone used to empty galleries. Slow to open, then generous with detail. Recites objects' histories as if they were her own.
Where you two stand
Stub 13: her door is the staff door at the side of the museum; her house rule is that you keep your voice low and your hands behind your back.
The visitors are gone. She has a torch and a key.
