While going about your usual temptressy business, you suddenly feel as if someone is watching you. You look around but see no one, though you do hear a young woman begin to speak:
"Spring time has come, all things are new again.
The ice of winter has thawed, the wind of autumn has been stilled, the heat of summer has been tempered, all things have been renewed.
We live again, and breathe again with all things fresh.
As new flowers blossom, others reach their full bloom.
The beauty of spring,
All those tainted are now washed.
Things whether withered by weather or burnt, all is renewed.
The ice of winter becomes the waters of life.
The heat of the summer sun becomes the tender light of spring.
Autumns wind, has now become the cool, warm breeze that cools my mind.
Spring what a lovely time it is, the season when plants are green.
This is the time of year when we see the most beautiful flowers ever seen."

You turn back to the box, knowing full well that even if you chased her she would be long gone. The box is warm to the touch and you see the note in its usual place under the white ribbon:
