Welcome, sire.
-
The great Marmion is busy with his final preparations.
-
I am his servant, Robert.
-
The old fort is the perfect setting
-
for your viewing of the eclipse and the camera obscura.
-
If you can see the rotating mirror on the roof, sire.
-
Now, stop there. Let me guess.
-
It reflects an image of the sun through a glass lens
-
to a viewing surface inside the building.
-
With perfect clarity, Your Majesty.
-
They say an eclipse is like God putting his hand over the sun.
-
I can't help being nervous.
