| Deciding that the books and the doors coul wait, Fred-Hannah sat down
in the comfortable-looking chair and began going through the desk drawers.
She didn't know what she had expected to find - a way out, maybe, or a
secret plan for killing the dragon - but she flet vaguely disappointed
by the drawers' contents.
In each of the five drawers, Fred-Hannah found one object apiece:
a smallish, leather-bound book (sealed, but with the key in the lock),
a crystal ball, a fine gold chain with a heart-shaped pendant, a tall pointed
cap with moons and stars on it, and a pouch filled with what looked like
some sort of glittery dust.

Fred-Hannah decides to unlock and open
the book.
