It was after 48 hours continuous work on Orac that Avon began to hallucinate.

(Perhaps, he admitted later, sleep might have been advisable, but there had been a time factor involved, as Blake had repeatedly pointed out.)

"It was a man in Victorian clothing," he explained to Cally. "I recognised him from some old books -- pre-Federation stuff, by an author called Conan Doyle. He gave me some very helpful advice. Clearly my subconscious was trying to communicate with me through fictional characters that I remembered from childhood."

He didn't tell her everything the Professor of Mathematics had suggested, though.
