Aringarosa
had
heard
of
this
place
the
Vatican
s
Astronomy
Library
rumored
to
contain
more
than
twenty
-
five
thousand
volumes
,
including
rare
works
of
Copernicus
,
Galileo
,
Kepler
,
Newton
,
and
Secchi
.
Allegedly
,
it
was
also
the
place
in
which
the
Pope
s
highest
officers
held
private
meetings
those
meetings
they
preferred
not
to
hold
within
the
walls
of
Vatican
City
.
Approaching
the
door
,
Bishop
Aringarosa
would
never
have
imagined
the
shocking
news
he
was
about
to
receive
inside
,
or
the
deadly
chain
of
events
it
would
put
into
motion
.
It
was
not
until
an
hour
later
,
as
he
staggered
from
the
meeting
,
that
the
devastating
implications
settled
in
.
Six
monthsfrom
now
!
he
had
thought
.
God
help
us
!
Now
,
seated
in
the
Fiat
,
Bishop
Aringarosa
realized
his
fists
were
clenched
just
thinking
about
that
first
meeting
.
He
released
his
grip
and
forced
a
slow
inhalation
,
relaxing
his
muscles
.

Everything
will
be
fine
,
he
told
himself
as
the
Fiat
wound
higher
into
the
mountains
.
Still
,
he
wished
his
cell
phone
would
ring
.
Why
hasn
t
the
Teacher
called
me
?
Silas
should
have
the
keystone
by
now
.
Trying
to
ease
his
nerves
,
the
bishop
meditated
on
the
purple
amethyst
in
his
ring
Feeling
the
textures
of
the
mitre
-
crozier
appliqué
and
the
facets
of
the
diamonds
,
he
reminded
himself
that
this
ring
was
a
symbol
of
power
far
less
than
that
which
he
would
soon
attain
.
The
inside
of
Gare
Saint
-
Lazare
looked
like
every
other
train
station
in
Europe
,
a
gaping
indoor
-
outdoor
cavern
dotted
with
the
usual
suspects
homeless
men
holding
cardboard
signs
,
collections
of
bleary
-
eyed
college
kids
sleeping
on
backpacks
and
zoning
out
to
their
portable
MP3
players
,
and
clusters
of
blue
-
clad
baggage
porters
smoking
cigarettes
.

Sophie
raised
her
eyes
to
the
enormous
departure
board
overhead
.
The
black
and
white
tabs
reshuffled
,
ruffling
downward
as
the
information
refreshed
.
When
the
update
was
finished
,
Langdon
eyed
the
offerings
.
The
topmost
listing
read
:

«

Sophie
said
,

Lyon

Sooner

Langdon
checked
his
watch

.
The
train
left
in
seven
minutes
and
they
didn
t
even

Sophie
guided
Langdon
toward
the

window
