Speak with the Abbe and exhaust all the dialogue topics. Examine the different items around the room, especially the portrait and chessboard, which are clues to a later puzzle.

Take time to examine the Le Serpent Rouge and begin to decipher its riddles.

Using SIDNEY
You've acquired the envelope from the museum door, retrieved the pamphlet from the church, and talked with the Abbe, now it's time to attempt some of the Le Serpent Rouge puzzles. If you look at Le Serpent Rouge, you'll notice that the current stanza you're working on is highlighted. If you've done the necessary work to complete that stanza, it will darken, and the next will become highlighted. To get hints about Le Serpent Rouge and the particular stanza, look at the stanza, read the stanza, and use the think icon on the stanza. Also, use SIDNEY to search for any terms mentioned in the stanza.

Before you begin work on Le Serpent Rouge, use the ADD DATA function to scan in the fingerprints and symbols you've acquired (if you've acquired any). Scan in Montreaux's fingerprints that you got from Chateau de. Serras, scan in the unknown fingerprint from the envelope containing Le Serpent Rouge, and finally scan in the symbols you sketched from the robes in Montreaux's wardrobe closet.
