    Summary

    “He’s so impatient sometimes. With the geography and history you don’t know, or the customs.” She paused to stare around the room, her eyes distant. “It’s because he’s so used to us always being here that he forgets we’re not from here. It’s a really terrible compliment of his, I think.”

    Summary

    One might think that anyone who knew two dozen death spells would be able to carry a fowling piece without worrying that he would take his own foot off—but that one wouldn't be Gabriel de Witt.

    Seventy years before the events of The Pinhoe Egg, a group of wizards goes shooting on the grounds of Chrestomanci Castle, and there's things abroad in the woods.

    Summary

    "Frost," I said scornfully. "I suppose this is what happens in a world where you haven't got a proper goddess to manage things."

    Summary

    Christopher was not the first to decide that Mr. Flavian Temple was in dire need of a wife. The staff of Chrestomanci Castle had been saying as much for years (although it was only after Flavian and Tacroy's making a strong case for Christopher's not being being completely and utterly horrible that they deigned to grace him with this opinion). Christopher was fairly certain, however, that he was the first one to posit that that wife should be Tacroy.

    Summary

    "She's terrifying," said Flavian.

    "Isn't she?" Mordecai sighed happily.

    Flavian doesn't know what Mordecai sees in Rosalie. Gabriel doesn't know what Rosalie sees in Mordecai. Maybe it's just as well.

    Summary

    Once upon a time—a time when witches wore corsets and bustles under their robes, and tall pointed hats weren't just for school uniforms, and the Hogwarts Express hadn't been built yet, because steam trains were still suspiciously Muggle-ish affairs—there lived a boy named Claudius Chant.

    Summary

    There was nothing Lucia hated more than washing up. She hated sticking her hands into murky water without knowing what was lurking there. She hated the way her skin got wrinkly and gross. And she hated the way there was no end of it.

    Summary

    I had been on a walk with Flavian, when Bernard and I were both new. We had run into a salamander, and it had ended with me needing sixteen stitches and Bernard unable to sit down for a week. Christopher did warn me—"I shouldn't go if I were you, Hester; hiking is not one of the mandatory subjects"—but I'd trusted my previous experiences with teachers more than I'd trusted Christopher; and besides, my name isn't Hester.

    Christopher and the young enchanters go to the circus. Conrad and Flavian go for a walk in the forest. Things go very wrong.

    Summary

    It was astonishing, how quickly taking tea in the right sort of hotel had gone from the most natural thing in the world to an exercise in deception more heart-poundingly daring than the games of spies and assassins she had played as a child. Haven't I seen you on Coven Street? You live above Mrs. Sharp's, don't you, love?

    Christopher and his cousin Caroline, both about to become parents, meet for tea and conversation.

    Summary

    "Something came up?" I said.

    He sighed. "What came up was, I told Christopher I didn't want him to come if he was only going to be miserable," he said. "It's a lovely party, Millie. What would be the use of making it awkward for everybody?"

    Conrad goes back to Series Seven. Christopher takes it badly.
