"How to get into this book. Knock at the knocker on the door, pull the bell at the side, then, if you are very quiet, you will hear a teeny tiny voice say through the grating 'take down the key.' This you will find at the back: you cannot mistake it, for it has J.J. in the wards. Put the key in the keyhole, which it fits exactly, unlock the door and walk In."--Half title verso.
