This is the journal of Poppy Hughes and Cecilia Weatherby

Where being as we are currently engaged as students at the Honora Davies School for Young Ladies and being as the Honora Davies School for Young Ladies is a very select institution that could have us on the train home the instant we step another toe out of line and being as we were reminded of this on Tuesday by Miss Honora Davies of the Honora Davies School for Young Ladies and given three days dishwashing duty and being as Alice Longfellow is watching me write this from across the common room this instant and being as I know she will go and tell Mistress Richtersen at the first opportunity she gets as she is a rotten snitch and a cow as well and should not be captain of the archery team we are going to write this in invisible ink. Also because that's what adventurers do. And also because we are entitled to our secrets. And also because if Miss Poppy Hughes wants to add anything more she can do it herself, and yes she can I am handing you this book, Poppy this very instant.
