Foreword
A rat scurries busily down a dark corridor, keeping close to the wall to avoid attention. She dodges through an open doorway and continues along a low molding until she reaches a hole in the wall. Climbing deftly down a series of pipes she enters an abandoned chamber. Here, she regains her breath before continuing down an aisle of empty book shelves. Near the end of the row she squeezes her bulk between two cabinets; this wasn’t such a tight squeeze a few weeks ago. An open pipe behind the cabinets leads into the stonework, concealing her den. She hastily adds the new paper shreds to the nest, pausing only a moment before leaving to gather more. The soon-to-be mother rat never stops to look at the writing on the paper and even if she did, she wouldn’t understand that its from a volume that includes all entries from Ib, now Ic through Iz.
