Perhaps I should trade your Christmas present for a special sneaking visit into our own library. But I hope you can accept what I offer instead.
[Dorian holds out the package to Jekyll. It is two books: one, a collection of poetry, because seriously Jekyll less science more art. But the second is a beautifully bound notebook, with thick quality paper, and a fine quill beside it. Something so Jekyll can write.
The poetry book is inscribed with a message to Jekyll:
To my dear Henry,
Although these words do not contain the art of the Natural world, I hope the pleasure of their reading will bring as much beauty to your eye as you and your company do to mine.
Yours, D.G.]
[Dorian doesn't fully recognize the little fluttering of excitement that is unsettling his belly. He is certain he must just be excited to get another Christmas gift.]
