-the book opens with a charming sentence- "In the event that you are reading this Harriet, then you have either found my laboratory and stolen from me, or- the more likely scenario is that I am dead. My plans have failed, and those that would step in the way of my ambition, have triumphed. I can't say that I did not on some level expect this, which is why I prepared this book."
"Within these pages, you- Harriet, will both find my reasoning behind my actions, and you will find also- a final lesson to you, containing my observations of magic. I am sure that half will be more beneficial to you in the long run. There should be a small bookmark that I affixed to one of the pages, marking the start of my final lessons in magic to you."
-indeed, there is a small ribbon about a quarter of the way through-
-Chester just stands by-
