I'm just glad the book didn't turn out to be a Leitner. Nasty things. They burn like all paper, but some of them fight back.

[ruinedworld]

Oh? Is that something you've personally experienced?

[pyrodulia]

I used to get them mailed to me anonymously from time to time.

['Anonymously', as if she wasn't vividly aware Gertrude was using her for the disposal of dangerous materials.]

[ruinedworld]

Ah -- of course. [ He knows all about that. ]

Which of them did you find most difficult to, um... digest?

[pyrodulia]

I made the mistake of letting the Grimoire of Four Imposters get too close to other books on my bookshelf, so I ended up having to burn them, too. And The Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand started oozing as it went up. Like it wasn't the words, but the ink itself that was trying to resist the flame and escape.

[ruinedworld]

Did the ink burn, too, in the end?

[pyrodulia]

In the end, everything burns. Yes, the ink took more work, but it did go eventually.

Why, were you concerned risk it might pose to me, otherwise?

[ruinedworld]

Well, that, [ Not really, ] and I've heard that burning doesn't always have the effect it should. Though I suppose yours is no ordinary fire.

May I ask which book a certain collector is now mourning?

[pyrodulia]

A 1949 first edition of And Both Were Young by Madeline L'Engle. Honestly, I prefer the 1983 version of the story, but some hold the original as precious.

[ruinedworld]

Ah, yes -- the softened version. What a loss. Was it satisfying?
