My Dearest Curator,

Eureka, I have finally found the secret to getting access to
the hidden 'Shrine of the First Apprentice!' As we had
surmised the 4 inextinguishable blue flamed torches are
indeed connected to opening the hidden passageway ... and
get this ... that passageway is somewhere in the vicinity of
that large statue in the very center of your museum!

And remember that vial of holy water that you couldn't
figure what to do with. According to the Hammerite
historical archives, it was blessed by the same Mystic who
had captured the heart and soul of The Builder's First
Apprentice."

"Unlike other vials of holy water it is useless as a weapon
against the undead. It was created for two purposes only ... 
to extinguish or relight those 4 torches ... nothing else.

The only problem is that ALL 4 torches need to be
extinguished, and in the right order, to open the hidden
passageway, or they will simply relight by themselves and
the opening will remain closed. The archives does mention a
poem called, \"Ode to Catherine,\" (apparently composed soon
after the museum was built 20 years ago), which give hints
on the correct sequence needed to extinguish the torches but
the actual poem, itself, appears to be missing.

Evidently, that vial of holy water (you still have it, right)
is inexhaustible. So if perchance we make a mistake we can
always try again."

When she arrives you can put her to work in your library
searching for further clues on the location of the shrine.

We're going to be rich, rich, rich! See you the morning of
the 27th.

Your Best Friend,

The Professor"
