Summary:

I hope you will receive this letter. I am putting it in the hollow of a linden tree, with a strand of my hair under the sealing wax. This method came to me in a dream that may well have been nonsense. In the event that it is, I will come back for the letter in a few days; in the event that it is not, I send you my love. I cannot send anyone’s regards, because the Greysteels have not observed that I am writing this, but they often express their hopes for your well-being.

Arabella proceeds.

Summary:

The documented history of English magic is by now widely known; one assumes French magic was equally well recorded, but the only text on the subject one has to hand is this assortment of thoughts by sixteenth-century essayist Michel de Montaigne.
