The notebook
Half the pages are out on loan to the street.
Under the till Tante Maëlle left her recipe notebook. Half its pages are "out on loan to the street". Each page is a recipe: the folded crêpe on a plate, its fillings and fold, the doneness she recommends, the faces of the guests who love it and a line in her handwriting.
How pages come back
| How | Pages | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| In the notebook from the start | 4 | There from day one. |
| Served well | 35 | The page turns up the first time you serve that crêpe well. |
| Brought back by a guest | 7 | A guest returns the page they borrowed; serving the crêpe well finds it too. |
| The story | 1 | One page only the story hands back. Nobody orders it until then. |
A missing page is a torn stub with a hint ("A red stain shaped like June...") and what the pantry still lacks. The notebook is opened from the market's Recipes and from the day card's Notebook.

Tante Maëlle kept this one. 'Come and fetch it when the season ends. Bring butter.'
