“This is it,” thought Clara as she carefully examined the book she had just bought. She loved the smell of old books and the thrill of the hunt. This particular book, a battered travelogue, was proving promising.

She pulled it out with great care. It was a small envelope. A wide grin stretched across her face. This was better than finding a missing treasure.
