Two more Concordia students, Jenna and Madeleine, show up early on.  I turn them loose on a ‘puzzle’ – reconstituting the frames around the doors.  They take to it with gusto, scouting for the three pieces of the header over the doors (cornice, frieze and taenia), then the casings at either side, and finally the stubby plinths below the casings.  I sorely wish I had marked every piece as I pried off the trim in July and August—that would have saved much detective work.
