Is it not here?
He had to call home in order not to make them nervous. “O.K.” , he smiled, “Done, I’m free till the evening.” She looked at him irritated. She was pecking the sand near the wall with the tip of her shoe. “I forgot to say, I didn’t notice that my mobile had got discharged” he explained himself “Thanks for lending me, I must charge mine “ he looked around helplessly. “Now, o.k., if you hadn’t been so essential, I wouldn’t have dragged you with me. Look what I’ve dug up. What a lovely piece of glass.” She lifted the glass to her eye and looked at him. ”Poor, you aren’t visible” She put the opened notebook under it.
“And here it’s visible! This is a piece of glasses, an eye-piece. It’s clearly visible, some kind of notes from an old newspaper.” “Where can you see anything?” he asked leaning over her shoulder with a piece of glass. “What are you reading, there is nothing here, a blank piece of paper!” “Where?” she asked astonished. “Move the glass farther from your eye and look.” She said calmly. “Oh, interesting. Now you look what you can see in the notebook through this glass: notes from the newspaper. About the library, but where? Wait a minute, let’s read …
Well, this is about the obligations towards the country and other citizens,
Therefore, we have the place where the library was founded, something about Copernicus and the edifice in which there is some kind of “museum.” One hundred point question: the address! Maybe there will be something on the next clipping.
The opening of the library
An interesting pair of glasses near my shoe. If you hadn’t talked for so long, I wouldn’t have found them. Yet again I have some profit from being with you. I guess they were lying here waiting for someone to take them. The time was not favorable to them, only one eye-piece remains, and without a frame to it. Well, the important thing is that we can read the information with it. What is the “great Museum hall,” which is known to all Torunians? Maybe it’s in the Town Hall or Arthus’s Court? It’s so well-known, that the address is nowhere to be found. We have to look somewhere else and think. There must be some clues here somewhere. Maybe let’s look here. Here you are: Address book

But didn’t the Main Library change its place since 1923 until 1936? Was that “known to all museum hall” in 16 Wysoka street? She put the eye-piece to her pocket.
Maybe I’ll start with Copernicus: he was a scientist and a scholar, I don’t think you will doubt that. He nodded, he could agree to that. Even though there was no such necessity, Copernicus devoted his life to research. So if the Main Library was here, then the problem with Copernicus is solved, focus on the key. Is it this building? Look at the photos: It’s kind of similar, but on the tower here there are two muses sitting, and on the picture the building is covered with fog. The rest is similar. The second picture.. it’s a kind of museum, collectioner’s pieces.
Have you seen the fountain in the picture? It says here “wodotrysk.” Do you know where it is? No – He shook his head, no, he said and shrugged his arms, monuments, fountains, it was starting to bore him, and at that moment he would do anything for something cold to drink. You see – she nodded like a one hundred year old woman, if you were only a little bit interested, you would know that there was a “flood” in Bydgoszcz. I wonder if they had their Noe? Maybe they'll rebuild it, because it was pretty, wasn't it? I wonder why this picture is here next to the portrait of this bearded man and the sign of equation between them?
Except for the identification of the place I don't see any clues here. I guess we're in for a tough job. Let's see what is really important here. Nanny has underlined Steinborn in the calendar and added a note that he was a doctor and that he was awarded with medals and he even has his own plaque, he deserves credit. It's curious. Have you been to St. George's cemetery? No? You should regret it. It's a nice place. Imagine: We are in a forest full of sculptures. We are walking along an avenue and behind every monument, on every tombstone there is a ghost sitting, very important people lie there. Leon Shuman strokes his beard and nods his head with approval “Oh yes, a healthy spirit dwells in a healthy body!” he exclaims in our direction, content with our visit. Marian Sydow is sitting and reading a newspaper, “Pomorska” newspaper it seems. Oh, and here it's Otto Steinborn with his wife. They're strolling around a big stone. They're whispering, as they draw near each other. Mrs Helena is holding some flowers, I guess it's roses. She has two of them attached to the corset of her dark dress. The doctor has a book open and looks as if he was reading aloud. Their tombstone is somehow symbolic, it's as great as a stone and as durable as a stone. Do you learn German? English – he answered – I hate German, I wouldn't learn German even if I had the chance to. It's stupid of you – she replied coldly – you should learn foreign languages, they are sometimes useful... When it comes to the key, the stone may be of some connection to the surname Stein-born, der stein (German = a stone), der Born (German = a spring) he had a nice surname: spring stone, stone of the spring, a lot of sssss, it even makes sense considering the fountain, well, I guess here lies the key, we know what to do with the portrait, but what about the key...
