For two days, she searched the shelves. She found a treatise on the diseases of sheep; a copy of Kristian Franz Paulini's Heylsame Dreck-Apotheke—who would have thought that the stuff apothecaries sold as "White Gentian" was in truth dried doggie poop?—a book called Helle Barden—was this about bards, or about weapons and the author orthographically challenged?—and, wrapped in a bit of sackcloth, a late medieval tome totally covered in mold. But there were no hidden compartments, no interesting French books with even more interesting illustrations.

On the third day, Cissy finally admitted defeat. Wherever the men of the House of Wolfenbach hid their secret books, it was not in the library. Thoughtful, Cissy tapped her finger against her cheek.

No doubt, she needed help. And there was only one person whom she could ask.

She hurried back to her room and got out quill, ink and paper. Dearest friend, she wrote. She tickled the end of the feather over her nose. The wording needed careful consideration, for who knew who else might read these lines? After all, she didn't want to provide amusement for any fool at some German censor's office. She sighed, and eventually continued, I hope this letter finds you well. I have abided by your advice, yet the circumstances of my life here are no different from what they used to be before your departure. I am impatient for change, however, and eagerly await your further advice on the matter. Yours Ec.

Carefully, she sanded and sealed the letter, before she wrote the address in sweeping lines on the back. "Voila."

Softly humming under her breath, she went in search of Rambach and gave him the precious letter to put into the mail.
