Dr Quirk Yesterday. Lives in: Chamber 126, Tower of Certifiable Genius, city of Ex. Occupation: Doctor of Sesquipedality. Comments: "*ahem* The most exact definition of Sesquipedalian is "one who uses extremely complicated vocabulary", although my advanced studies of course function in conjunction with multifarious sciences and philosophies. I found Umbagollah to be a location with abundant opportunity for advanced research into the intricacies of the contrast between clamor and calm, discord and harmony, soliloquy and contemplation---suitable for the world's most renowned female Sesquipedalian. Oh, yes, and my prize begonias seem to do pleasingly well out here." Dr Quirk's bedroom window opens onto the roof of the west wing of the University of Ex's library. The west wing is the library's reading room. Sunlight reaches the readers through an immense glass hemisphere which takes up much of the roof. Stand on the roof and look down, and two hundred feet below, you will see students studying their books or biting their pens. Do it at night. and you will see several dozen pools of candle- and lamp-light. She grows her begonias on a walkway, five feet wide, between the dome and the edge of the roof.
