"That's reassuring. That's... honestly reassuring, to know that there's a solid system in place and its underlying mechanics could conceivably account for most of this. There's a line of inquiry, there. I'll want to read those books... and possibly find a way to buy books that go into the underlying mechanics and metaphysics, if those exist."
There's still the serious possibility that there is no house and no books, but instead some gate or nasty magic thing that the manager had been trying to warn people about. Ideally, he'll encounter another fairy before they reach their destination, and the opportunity will arise to confront her about the messages in Brenda's. But... he should know what she wants him to think about other fairies, first.
"You mentioned earlier, that other fairies aren't as harmless as you- something about being a disposable toy? What... how are most fairies likely to treat a mortal like me?"
