Evelyn began to look around the small cottage and take in the walls of books. She carefully examined the spines of each book and began to select a few. She picked Herbology, Spices and Healing, Potions for Beginners, and Plants of West Corantian. She placed them on the long worktable and went to check on her teapot. She examined the jars of dried herbs and flowers on the shelf and settled for one labeled chamomile and one labeled lemon balm. She placed the dried flowers into a small teacup and poured the just boiling water over it. She then went to work dusting off the worktable and a small end table that was near the fire.
