Nell's favorite book was a magical Atlas which she could use to explore 
any land, real or imaginary. During the nighttime, Purple spent most of her 
time reading a very large, crusty, worn, stained, burnt tome entitled Pantechnicon. This book had a built-in hasp with a padlock. 
Whenever Purple wasn't using it, she locked it shut. Nell asked to see it a few 
times, but Purple told her she was too young to know such things as were 
written in this Book.
