Pages 260 and 261 are missing in the scan. They accidentally scanned pages 258 and 259 twice. Here is the text that is missing:

Page 260:

"Come in!" I said.

Two men entered the room. They both wore the same checked shortsleeved shirts I had seen earlier in the day when Steve and I had sat at a table next to them in the outside courtyard of the Alchemist and Barrister while they bickered over maps.

NATURAL HISTORY

Still waters run deep

"Find me a map of the area," said Kremer. "A geological map. The latest."

Bauer scribbled on a request form, which he packed into a small, brass torpedo. Going over to the wall he asked Kremer how late he imagined they would be working that evening.

Kremer, hunched over the microscope, said nothing.

Bauer slipped the torpedo into the communication tube. He smacked the cap closed and listened as the torpedo was sucked away and clattered down the pipework on its journey to the first-floor typing pool. He looked at his watch: thirty-four minutes past five. Hartmann, Head of Documents, maintained that any document in the university could be retrieved and delivered withing fifteen minutes. He had promised to buy Bauer a whole liter of Berliner white beer if he failed to live up to this proud boast by so much as a second. This should be a good test and on such a sultry August day, a large beer, maybe with a shot of raspberry, would be welcome.

"Ruth, a moment," he said, beckoning his assistant. "Would you perhaps be so kind as to telephone my wife and tell her that I will be late home again this evening?"
