To Save the Realm, first 10 lines, Chapter 7: A Vision at the British Museum

Brock was sitting on a bench in the British Museum. He had been on the bench in this relatively small, dimly lit room for half an hour. The only other people there with him were two very serious-looking German tourists who were focusing their attention on the swords and shields that were hanging on a wall across the room. The fact is, Brock was transfixed. For the past thirty minutes he'd been gazing at what, for him, seemed a wondrous thing, a warrior's helmet made by a Celtic craftsman in the fifth century.
