“That was such a waste of time,” Lucy said, when they were back in her room. She sat on the bed and stared crossly at the useless pamphlet.

“It might not have been,” Bertie replied, sitting down beside her. His eyes were gleaming with excitement. “When Mr Turner handed me my copy of the pamphlet, Mr Paige winked at me, as though he was trying to tell me something. That’s why I didn’t open mine in the library.”

Lucy felt a flutter of anticipation as they opened Bertie’s copy of the pamphlet. It had the same text printed on it as her copy, but there was an extra page, sewn into the middle.

Dear Friend

We are a group of magicians who feel that those in positions of authority are remiss in not revealing the true extent of Hester Coin’s crimes. We think they wish to suppress the information to ensure that the magical community is kept in a state of fear so that no one will question the establishment of the organisation they call Magicians Against the Abuse of Magic, which we feel is designed to interfere in the lives of decent magicians. If you wish to learn more, there will be a meeting in London on November 10, 1750 in the crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

“That’s not much help,” Lucy said.

“What about this at the bottom, though?” Bertie said.

Lucy peered at it. There was a handwritten note. The ink had faded to a very pale brown, but it was just about decipherable.

Meeting infiltrated by MAAM. All memories tweaked, and knowledge of the demon summoned by Hester Coin has been removed.

C.G. November 11, 1750.
