Upon my head I have no face

For your ease I come in a case

And though I’m well and upon my way

Upon my flight I’m here to stay

I slow you down, and tire you out

Yet getting you there is what I’m about.

Oona turned the page over to make sure she was not missing something. When she found nothing else, she turned back to page 413 and slammed her fist against the corner of the book.

“But this is just as helpful as that magic billiard ball,” she said. “It tells us nothing!”

“It appears to be some sort of riddle,” Deacon said.

“What it says, Deacon, is that in order to enter the tower you must first find it. But we know where the tower is. It’s in the cemetery.”

Deacon hopped from her shoulder to the desk so that he might get a better look at the book. “But perhaps the ‘it’ that the text is referring to is the entrance. And the riddle—”

Oona snapped her fingers. “Yes, of course, Deacon. Answer the riddle and we will know where to look for the secret entrance!”

Oona grabbed a pen and paper, and quickly copied the riddle. “Samuligan!” she said excitedly. “Bring round the carriage, please. I want to get to the cemetery as quickly as possible.”

But at first the faerie servant did not seem to have heard. He was reading one of the pieces of paper that had fallen on the floor.

“Samuligan, did you hear me?” Oona asked. “Please bring the carriage around front. And you really shouldn’t be snooping about in Uncle Alexander’s private letters.”

Samuligan tipped his hat back on his head and gave her a calculated look, as if to say that she was hardly the person to be giving lectures on snooping around.

“You will want to read this,” he said. “I believe you will find its contents quite enlightening.”
