The young lady was correct: it was without a doubt a tobacco pocket. Made of very flexible Havana calfskin, it appeared to have been utilized a ton.
François loosened the trim that held the fold and painstakingly unfurled the pocket. It actually contained a couple of strands of thick, practically dark tobacco, however that was not all! At the base was a roll of material attached with a string.
Rapidly, François took it out and unrolled it, then, at that point, spread it out before him on the framing.
The four kids opened their eyes wide. On the square of cloth, unusual signs and characters were drawn. The dark ink had scarcely blurred.

The more the kids took a gander at the grimoire, the more interested they were. What mystery did these secretive lines and words stow away, composed such a long time ago on this yellowed material?
They raced to show their new find to the rancher's better half.
She was submerged in perusing the old book of restorative recipes, and, hearing the youngsters enter, she turned a radiating face towards them.

The elderly person removed her glasses and cleaned the focal points with her hanky, then, at that point, having placed them back on her nose, she continued to painstakingly inspect the square of material.

The five companions set off running.
Despite the fact that it was difficult to hang on discussion in these circumstances, the youngsters were so energized by their undertakings of the morning that they really wanted to trade their impacts on the way.
"I can't help thinking about what can be composed on this piece of material," said François. "Yet, I will be aware!" "Would it be advisable for us we discuss this at home?" asked Mick.
Gracious! no, shouted Claude. "It's confidential!
Precisely," concurred François. What's more, he kept, chuckling softly: "In the event that Annie begins to let the cat out of the bag, we'll simply need to give her a decent kick under the table, as we did the previous summer."
Poor Annie struggled with leaving well enough alone. So she presently not counted the alerts her siblings gave her, occasionally without thought.
"I won't utter a word!" she fought resentfully. What's more, don't even think about kicking me. It just makes me scowl after all the grondoo frown, and afterward all the adults ask me what's up with me!

We could likewise make out a compass rose, a basic circle with a bolt through it, and, right close to it, the letter E, to assign the east, no question.

François thought, wrinkling his forehead. >>
He inspected the square of material once more and, deterred, pushed it towards his sibling.

François reclaimed the piece of material and concentrated on it with his visit.
<<<< The characters are so hard to unravel, "he said after a second. What's more, he finished up with a moan: "No, it's futile: I see nothing."
At that point, strides sounded on the arrival. The room entryway opened and Mr. Rolland showed up on the limit.
<< All things considered, he said. I was thinking about what had happened to you. Might you want to come and go for a stroll with me on the precipice?
With joy, sir, answered François, collapsing up the square of material he was grasping.
What do you have there? asked the mentor.
It's... ", started Annie, however the three kids quickly intruded on her by beginning to talk all together, for dread that the young lady would sell out their mystery.
