There's a little place around the corner. Portobello Road Portobello Road Street where the riches of ages Are stowed Anything and everything A chap can unload Is sold off the barrow In Portobello Road You meet all your chums In the Portobello Road Lovely to see you. Goodbye. What I want is the other half of this book. All in good time, my dear. Burke's Peerage, The Bride Book, The Fishmonger's Guide Book. I'm looking for the other part of this.

Tokens and treasures Yesterday's pleasures Cheap imitations And heirlooms of old Dented and tarnished Scarred and unvarnished In old Portobello... This lady is looking for the other half of this book. It's called The Spells of Astoroth. I don't keep no torn or damaged books here. What do you think I am? A ruddy wastepaper merchant?
