delivered in a timely fashion: a letter

[--which is really a list, written on a dirty scrap of paper that was then tucked inside a beautiful envelope and sealed closed with an elaborate embossed seal that depicts two slender dragons, nose-to-tail, coiled around the edge of the seal, and in the center a library tower that would be familiar to anyone who was a student of the University of Orlais and (as if all that were not enough), a beautifully scripted Orlesian phrase that translates to, Open Me!

The dirty paper is somewhat of a let-down after all that.]

[The list is unsigned but how could anyone mistake its origin.]
