Once upon a time, three young children discovered skeleton keys in the sacred fountain wells of the Sidhe Fae and a curious cipher disc under the the Poulnabrone Dolmen portal tomb located in the Burren of County Clare, Ireland. Soon after, their ad...
The children took the Best Buy corporate jet to see Dr. Peter Olson of the esteemed Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London - a stone's throw away from their father's former flat on Elvaston Place near the African embassies.

The children recalled several stories of Peter, including the time when he almost spilled Charles Darwin's preserved tapeworms (in formaldehyde) on their father in his fourth floor office that overlooked the university's tower. The worms were transported on the Beagle from the Galapagos Islands, along with many other curious specimens.

The eldest child could not believe that this was the published researcher who did unspeakable things in front of the tele on Sunday mornings when their naïve father drank his breakfast orange juice while watching Little House on the Prairie.

It is here that Peter provides the children with the half empty jar that their father left behind in a rush on March 17, 2001 when he flew to Bermuda. His flight had been diverted to Kennedy Airport where he was almost deported to the borough of his birthplace - Brooklyn - simply because he did not bring his American passport. The jar's original label was covered with the words, "2018 - Pseudalsophis hephaestus or Pseudalsophis darwini".
Their father had access to Peter's laboratory and the digital genetic library for the prior week while he checked for his flatmate's grant correspondence from the Royal Mail while his friend vacationed outside the country.
Professor Olson told Child 2 that her father was obsessed with a British song. He encouraged the children to watch and listen to the original music video, which was filmed near Hampstead Heath, for a clue, especially on the church.
Child 2 wrote down the lyrics:
"When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed"
The Oldest Child quickly recalled that the "Miller's Tale" was a reference to Geoffrey Chaucer's second tale about a carpenter's wife. The tale had motifs of two separate fabliaux, the 'Second Flood' and Infidelity disguised as a 'Misdirected Kiss'. The the middle of the music video there is a winged figure of Anteros on the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain at Piccadilly Circus, where their father walked past for 6 years in London. Anteros is the ancient Greek symbol of Selfless Love

The general consensus is that "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" is a snapshot of a drunken sexual escapade gone awry.
Oldest child remembered that her parents met one tube stop north on the Bakerloo Line and opens up. to Argyle Street.
Child 2 encouraged her sister to take the Circle Line to the British Library. There, they found the map with the Rose Line originating from Carthage and ending in London. It intersected with the DeCleary's ancestral home in Marseille.
