 (view spoiler)[Isabella Camherst and Benjamin Talbot exchange letters through the publications of the Falchester Weekly Review following a notice from the latter claiming the discovery of a new draconic species from the Broken Sea, a cockatrice. Isabella doubts the authenticity of the specimen and Talbot is irritated to be questioned by her. A final letter from William Penburgh then reveals how this conflict ended. (hide spoiler)] 
 This short addition to the series made me laugh multiple times. While the letters are polite at first, they quickly degenerate. I wish similar letters had been exchanged between Isabella and her mother about the various scandals of her adult life, it would have made for great fun. 
 "It seems exceedingly peculiar to me that the cockatrice, which is well-known in Anthiopean legend these past thousand years, should be found on an obscure island in the Broken Sea--quite on the other side of the world." - Isabella
