  1. Daily Task #10: Neville’s Recollection

    Therapy

    Candidates, I return to you from a day spent ministering to my poor aide Neville, who has been suffering most bizarrely. Since his disappearance last week, he has been visited nightly by a recurring phantasm, a dream that seems so regular and specific that it can only be memory. This nightmare plagues young Mr Rudzamoria so fully that he is unable to concentrate, and has fallen into a deep melancholy out of which it is impossible to rouse him.

    Upon visiting him today, our house physician, Dr Jarvis-Hall, suggested that his dream must, in fact, be a memory of some traumatic incident, and that facing that memory would be a potential cure. He further posited that the recollection was not, as I had assumed, some abstract, metaphysical torment being played out, but the memory of a route taken recently. I can only assume this is his missing memory from the day of his disappearance. Knowing that he dropped completely off the grid at Pimlico Station, I present to you a transcription of his recollection, in the hopes that you may trace his route and allow us to take him to face his nightmare.

    Neville’s Dream

    “Leaving the tunnels, looking around, I see a Stone Finger rising above the trees and follow it past a Gallery, until I stand under God’s Watch. He directs me to walk through England’s Garden, and then follow the row of Beautiful Tombs. After a while, I am greeted by a Noble Peer, who shows me the way to a Redbrick City. As I follow it, I pass through a Monarch’s Embrace before finding myself on a bridge, searching for Stew. I pass on the offer of Hare and continue, seeing a Royal Game before turning to pass between a World of Variety and a Triumphant Boarding House. My final memory is of a Dromedary. Then I wake.”

    I understand little of this, but feel if I could take Neville to the final location he references, then I could help him conquer his mental demons. I would be obliged if you could shed some light on this matter via @WiredUK, with the tag #neville.

    I am, as ever, your supervisor and faithful servant,
    Charlton Rice-Laurie
