Jimmy is drawn out to the festival by curiosity at first. He spends much of Sunday afternoon on the Greens, exploring the different booths and productions. He is particularly interested in the booths showcasing mystery authors. He even writes down the names of a few to look up later.

Later in the week he keeps coming back to see a few of the art exhibitions and plays. He makes a point of stopping by the bookstore for readings of young authors. He didn't have any of his own prepared, but it was still interesting to hear what other authors were working on.

On Saturday he goes wandering through the manor house. He sits and watches the magician for a time, before being drawn into the search for the dodo. He wasn't particularly interested in the prize, but the hunt for it was a puzzle. And he couldn't resist.
